Kerry Collins thought about calling it quits at the end of last season only to give himself plenty of time before finally announcing his unexpected retirement earlier this month. In the end, going out on his own terms mattered most to a 38-year-old quarterback still eager to play on Sunday but not ready for all the other work anymore. “I didn’t win a Super Bowl, and that is going to be one of the things that bugs me, I know it will,†Collins said Wednesday in his first public comments to four reporters. But when I sit here and look back at the age of 38, I played 16 years and I had kind of a rough start but I am proud of the way I came back from that and the things I accomplished over the years. There will be parts of it that I will miss, but I don’t think I’ll ever regret the decision I made.†He spoke with former Titans punter Craig Hentrich and his agent, David Dunn, for advice before deciding that he would leave the NFL on his own and not when his phone quit ringing. “Very few guys get to do that. That was the biggest reason why I did it when I did it,†Collins said. Source: Associated Press
