Ravens' Jonathan Ogden retires

Ravens OL Jonathan Ogden will be announcing his retirement tomorrow. The guy was a major force; it's amazing that the Ravens could never put together a better offense with him on their team.

So five years from now, the NFL inducts in to it's Hall of Fame Favre, Strahan, Ogden, Sapp, and ?

Knowing a toe injury would hinder his All-Pro playing ability, Jonathan Ogden told The Sun today that he will announce his retirement tomorrow, a long-awaited decision that ends the career of one of the NFL's great offensive linemen and a cornerstone of the Ravens franchise.

The inaugural pick by the Ravens in 1996, Ogden dominated the best defensive linemen of his generation, protecting the blind side of countless quarterbacks with his massive wingspan and opening holes for the likes of Jamal Lewis with bulldozing power.

Ogden, 33, who has been voted to the Pro Bowl in 11 of 12 NFL seasons, is expected to become the first player drafted by the Ravens to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

That stinks! Ogden is the best offensive linement to ever play, imo. Does this mean Jared Gaither is taking over for him?

They should be working on his bust for Canton right now! One of the best LT's I've ever seen play during my lifetime.
