I read an article in the Free Press today that said Ragnow quit because of injuries AND he didn't like his contract. That's the first I heard anything about money. An article from Carlos Monarrez. I think he's lying, to be honest;
"Signs of impending personnel problems were evident in the offseason contract drama with center Frank Ragnow and linebacker Alex Anzalone. Ragnow was playing in hellish pain and he wasn't happy with his contract, so he retired two years early."
