If you haven't heard by now Tiki Barber, yes that 36 year old Tiki Barber has filed papers to come out of retirement. He said he's been training and working out and feels as in shape now as he did when he retired back in 2006. So who is going to take a chance on a 36 year old running back you may ask? Well not many teams would be willing and even the New York Giants who still own the rights to him are not interested. The shelf life they say for running backs ends at around 30, which you may think wow that's a low age but considering the amount of punishment they take there are few who are able to play after that age and are still successful. They say 30 is the average, there have been backs who lasted longer and ended earlier, but I'm hearing the Tampa Bay Bucs are willing to give Tiki a tryout. There is no real interest but you have to think his brother talked them into giving him a tryout. So time will tell if and when Tiki will play again or even football for that matter with the lockout still looming.
