Shocker to me. The guy has been a dominant LB, but had a toe injury last season. Didn't seem like a career ender by any means, maybe he's just mentally ready to go.

From what I understand, he's had a lot of nagging injuries throughout his career. I can't fault him for moving on when he's still healthy enough to have a high quality of living.

Excuses...The man was scared of change. Lost his HC, injured last year and saw a rookie Chris Borland go in and do a heck of a job replacing him last season. The writing was on the wall that he wouldn't be a 49er next season.

30 is a good time to retire. Perfect actually.

This is probably the most uniformed and stupid post I have read on these boards in a long time.
