MIKE ALSTOTT TO RETIRE by Michael David Smith
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced on their web site that they will have a press conference today to "make an announcement regarding the status of fullback Mike Alstott."
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the announcement will be that Alstott is retiring.
The 33-year-old Alstott played 11 seasons in the NFL, all with Tampa Bay. He has 5,088 career rushing yards and 2,284 career receiving yards, and he's first in franchise history with 71 touchdowns. He was chosen to six straight Pro Bowls from 1997 to 2002.
In 2003 Alstott suffered a serious neck injury, and since then he has averaged just 2.8 yards on 161 carries. Alstott has missed the last three days of training camp. It's not clear to what extent injuries are contributing to his decision to retire today.
