Frustrated LT Floats Retirement Idea
(CBSSPORTS.COM/Andy Benoit) -- LaDainian Tomlinson has a year left on his two-year contract with the Jets.
However, he has not received any definitive assurance that he'll be back in 2011.
"Part of it really does suck," Tomlinson told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. "It really does for me. To be in limbo… sometimes, I just want to say, 'You know what? I'm just going to retire.'"
"It's kind of a messed up feeling to be in," he said about being in limbo.
"Because I feel like we had a great season. Things went well. But here there's questions about whether I'm going to come back (with the one) year that I have left (on my contract). So who knows."
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said the club expects Tomlinson to be back, but he also acknowledged that "these things could change".
Tomlinson, 31, is slated to earn $2.4 million in 2011. He rushed for 914 yards last season and added 368 more through the air. However, he tailed off as the season progressed, rushing for less than 60 yards in each of the final 10 games.
