    Guess he didn't need the money after college

    Glen Coffee retires | ProFootballTalk.com
    The team will be able to recover the balance of his $828,000 signing bonus on a four-year deal.

    It works out to $621,000.

    Having covered 49ers RB Glen Coffee for 3 years, not surprised he retired. He has a higher call. Wouldn't shock me if he headed to ministry about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck

    What a terrible break for the 4th-and-niners.

    If Eddie D was still around he could throw out a buttload of money to coerce him to stay.

    I heard he was going to work for Starbucks. Bad joke, but somebody had to do it.

    A tweet from this morning:

    "so who in the office pool had Glen Coffee retiring before Brett Favre?"

    pretty funny.

    I’m thinking the semi-pro thing is just something to keep him busy. He prolly runs 150+ every game.
