Ragnow retiring?
A little hard to believe....

John Sullivan, but he didn't retire, he played for the skins and rams after MN.
Yes, that is the name. Drew a blank on it. No he didn't retire, but wanted a guarantee if he played thru the injury. Didn't get it, so he had surgery and was out that year.
Ragnow mentioned trying to work thru something, but it wasn't going like he hoped. So it just seems similar, injuries, guarantees, the business side. Don't remember who replaced Sullivan, but I remember it being quite brutal.
NFL OL rankings post-Ragnow retirement, Lions fall to 8th, Vikings 4th.

Losing an All-Pro player shows up in the Win/Loss column .
In the NFL, some things aren't fixable

Didn't Swilley replace Sullivan? Not really sure though.

I was thinking that was when Joe Berger took over?
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Too much time in the Sonoran sun? Swilley played about 20 years before Sully. So Berger and Easton replaced Sullivan, then we drafted Pat Elflein and he played there for a couple years. But I gotta stop, these crap OL names are giving me hives.

It's not even a hundred degrees yet... lol You're right about the centers though and times they played.
