[QUOTE="Heatherthepackgirl, post: 152188, member: 416"] Of all the options available to running back Corey Dillon, none is any more appealing right now than benching himself and retiring. Those close to the 32-year-old Dillon say that, after an offseason of talking with the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills and without a worthwhile playing-paying situation materializing, the running back now is planning to retire. After 10 seasons with the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals, after 11,241 rushing yards that made him the league's leading active rusher last season, Dillon is happier running errands than the football. He now spends his days in Malibu, Calif., shuttling his daughters to school, hitting the golf course, then returning to school to pick up his daughters. It is an arrangement that Dillon, already financially secure, has found more appealing than any that could be offered to him. Of course, Dillon could change his mind, and has before this offseason. He initially planned to retire at the start of the offseason, decided to explore the opportunities that beckoned, but now is back to where he was in January, ready to call it a career. A second-round pick out of the University of Washington in 1997, Dillon will be remembered as one of the game's more punishing runners, a player who once set the NFL single-game rushing record with 278 yards against the Denver Broncos. In 2004, Dillon validated the faith the Patriots showed in him in 2004, when New England traded a second-round draft pick for him. Dillon helped the Patriots win one Super Bowl and helped them come within a few minutes of reaching another. Dillon hinted at retirement shortly after New England's season ended in Indianapolis, and now, according to those who know him best, it sounds like he's following through on it. [/QUOTE]
