    love that guy. I became a fan of his while we were in Philly. He was the heart and soul of that Eagles team. Needless to say my friends in the city of brotherly lover were pissed when my team got him. I'll always appreciate his effort and drive. He was also a fantastic leader. This team will miss that leadership in the back 4.

    Class act. That's the best way to describe Brain Dawkins as a person.

    Beast. That's the best way to describe Dawk on the field.

    Awesome career. Thanks for 3 great seasons!

    "ESPN NFL - 6-time All-Pro S Brian Dawkins (Eagles 1996-2008, Broncos 2009-11) announced retirement on Twitter"

    That's good of him to do it before the draft.
    America might have some problems, but it's our home.
    Our country.
    Our team.
    And if you don't want to root for your team, then just get the hell out of the stadium.

    I liked BDawk, but I can't say it wasn't time....The game has passed him by.

    Glad he had the balls to hang it up when it was time instead of trying to hang on when it's clear he can't hold up physically anymore...

    Many pros don't know when to call it quits, BDawk clearly did.

    Default Broncos safety Brian Dawkins retires after 16 years

    from article:

    Reached a few minutes ago, Dawkins said he wrestled with this decision and asked for a little more time before conducting an interview. “I’m a little emotional right now,” he said.

    He might go down as an Eagle great, as he should, but he was one hell of a Bronco. Hats off to you.

    Understandable and probably the smart move. Thanks for all you did for the Broncos BDawk.
