This one was somewhat unexpected... especially since I had the SOB in SAC'D and the CDL! :rant

Here's the story (from Yahoo):

August 7, 2005

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Carolina tight end Freddie Jones retired Sunday, ending his eight-year career just four months after signing a free agent contract with the Panthers.

Jones spent five seasons in San Diego and three in Arizona and had 404 career catches. He wasn't exactly a fit with the Panthers, who use their tight ends primarily for blocking.

``It was in the best interest of my family that I conclude my career at this time,'' Jones said. ``I appreciate the Panthers signing me. It's a top-notch organization and I'm glad I got a chance to experience it before I retired.''

Jones, who played at North Carolina, was a second-round pick by the Chargers in 1997 draft.

He actually helped you out of your 3-year-long TE quagmire in CDL, eh Preds?
