The NFL can sometimes be cruel to veteran players, even former stars. We see it all the time. These players are revered for years, only to see their play fall off a little, and then have fans cry loudly for them to be replaced. Get faster. Get younger. Get better. When I put together the CBS SportsLine.com Top 50 rankings of the NFL players each summer, I'm guilty of the same thing. ... [link]
