DENVER (Sept. 5, 2005) -- Unwilling to be a bit player with the Broncos, Jerry Rice retired, closing a 20-year career for the most productive receiver in NFL history.
Rice, 42, made his decision over the weekend at home in San Francisco, then returned to Broncos headquarters and met with coach Mike Shanahan. He played 20 NFL seasons.
'This is a happy day,' he said. 'I think the tears that you see basically is that I have really enjoyed this ride.
'I'm done. I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life.'

Lite News - Rice Retires
After 20 years Jerry Rice retires. I have watched him all these years and he was one of the , if not the, most unstoppable receiver in my lifetime... Farewell and thanks for the memories.
