do you think this was prompted by Jerry in the team?

Either way, this was a good move on Brent. It allows the team to be the focus and not the individual.

I expect the league planned to indefinitely suspend him and perhaps it was suggested that he retire to avoid the negative press pre-trial. The press will still be negative but not as much as if he'd been suspended.

Per nfl spokesman there is no reason for league to rule on his case at this point

Brent #Cowboys 'retirement' means no suspension by @nflcommish ... But Goodell can always do so upon return

Strange.

I'm retiring from the NFL, too.

Odds he'll make it into Canton? It was a good run.

Will you hold a press conference at Cowboys Statudium for the formal announcement?

 

[Future]

I seriously doubt that his retirement will be permanent.

 

[godeep]

He shouldn't have been still on the team anyway.

Jerry Jones talking to the coaches right now, telling them how he has always wanted to be a coach.

...while at a coaching clinic...me thinks Jerry is actually going to give it a go when he fires Red.

I already did, but no one showed except for Josh Brent.

Jerry wouldn't cut him because he thought he could help the team this year. I doubt he knew anything about it or had any influence on the decision.

Wish Brent the best of luck in getting his priorities in order.
