The Facts:
Plummer talked for almost five minutes today about how he was officially retiring from the NFL before stepping away from the podium without answering any questions. "I wanted to come in and tell you guys on camera and face-to-face that the speculation can stop tonight," Plummer said from the Denver Athletic Club. "You can know by the looking in my face and hearing my words that I am retiring from the NFL."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There has been considerable doubt as to whether Plummer, who last weekend was traded to Tampa Bay, was really ready to retire or whether he was trying to gain leverage to get traded to the Texans so he could be reunited with former offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, Plummer doused the speculation. "You don't have to chase me around anymore," he said. ... We'll see. His statement will be much more convincing once he files the official paperwork necessary to retire.
