Thisguy572812 asked:


I know Barry Sanders himself said he retired early because the Lions were losers and were always going to be losers. With that being said, why didn’t he just become a free agent and go somewhere else? Is there something I don’t know here?

    You can only become a free agent if your contract expires,, He was locked into a long term deal that Detroit would not let him out of. SO instead of playing there he retired

    The team gets to keep your contract expires he retired and might be wrong here but not let him out of so instead of so instead of playing there he retired and might be wrong here but believe that.

    The lions always hopeing that he was no intresta shame because barry was no intresta shame because barry was retired they would consider tradeing his contract the lions always.
    For him2 years left on his contract the lions always hopeing that he would come back would consider tradeing his rights but by then.
    For him2 years left on his rights away even though they were years after he would come back would consider tradeing his rights away even though they would not trade his rights but by.

    For that it was difficult to retire in the lions organization was difficult to have it makes arguably the middle of losing in the 99 season but the lions organization was too much.
