Did he really retire? Yikes. Of course I'm not surprised. He gave up on the field all the time, why shouldn't he give up the NFL within days of finding out no one wants him right now?
I don't think Shaun Alexander has even officially retired yet.

By ring of honor, you mean the one around the bottom of the urinals at CLink, right? i'd be all for putting his name on one of those. Actually, i'd go out of my way to find the urinal with Aaron Curry's name on it so I could have the honor of christening him 2 or 3 times a game...

I think that shtick is getting pretty old, Peaches. I may explain jokes once in a while, but holy Christ, the number of jokes that Peaches & Pe have flat-out driven into the ground over and over and over and over and over and over and over is significantly higher.
More to the point, however; this makes the top 10 least-shocking pieces of news from 2013. Remember when we drafted him and he got that nickname "The Judge"? Rofl...

Aaron Curry- 163 tackles for roughly 30M (contract initially was for 34M guaranteed but he took a pay cut in 2011).. that equates to rougly 184k per tackle.. Potential was a great thing in the old CBA for rookies.

Isn't there somebody here still rockin' an "Aaron 'The Judge' Curry" signature? I lol a little whenever I see that...

That's right, iRo. Here here! Keep up the good fight.
Oh, but Hasselbeck himself brings this up too. You may want to remind him the jokes old. We certainly don't need people laughing at themselves around here.

That is baffling. How could a guy supposedly with so much upside throw in the towel on a multimillion dollar career?
Isnt Rick Mirer still a back up somewhere? Now there is a guy who could milk it.

Because he realized no NFL team would sign him anymore.

Alright- so where did he go wrong? Lazy-addicted? what? He had all the physical tools.

Game was too fast for him. Alternatively, he had one "move". Straight.

Yikes, I didn't realize it was THAT bad. Yeah, Aaron Curry is one of the poster boys for why they created the rookie wage scale.

Curry could dominate mediocre talent in the ACC, but the NFL chewed him up because everyone in the NFL is an elite athlete w/ instincts..

I think it was all mental with him. He was just too easy to exploit on play-fakes or in contain.
Plus, he never should've been selected that high. He was average, at best rushing the passer in college. It's reasonable to take a LB that high, but he better be a pass rusher too.

And he was great at that. He must have flown by hundreds of QB and running backs without touching them.Sarlacc83":1xlezceo said:

Never will stop being shocked by how hard Curry bombed.
Like everyone else, at the time I thought he was the safest pick in that draft class.

Me too. I was pretty happy that we got him, but lawdy, at that pick?
I kept thinking it would click for him but the only thing clicking for him was his money clip.
