he missed 2 games with a mcl injury but played last week. my guess is he is just tired of playing. he's been doing it for 13+ years http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/chi-report-kreutz-quits-saints-20111021,0,3135476.story I don't know if it's true, Cowherd mentioned it today on his radio show, but apparently Kreutz will get $25k a month through his NFL pension upon retiring. Kreutz's body is already falling apart according to Cowherd, with that pension on top of already making millions of dollars through a NFL career I'd get out too if I was Kreutz while my body hasn't completely fallen apart.
