Robert Smith knew of Ricky's plans A MONTH AGO

Dont buy that. If the FO knew anything about this they would have gone after a premier RB to replace him and just claimed they were adding "depth". No way would Wanny and Spielman keep adding CBs if they knew Ricky was retireing...especially with their jobs depending on this season's outcome. At most, the FO new about this thurs or fri and kept it quiet so that Saturday's ticket sale event would be unaffected.

And what premier running back is/was available this offseason?
