Un-retirement is another interesting category that we have long ago addressed in response to complaints that a few NFL players play much longer than the average at their respective positions! The bottom line purpose was to keep vets in the League. Very few come out of retirement with attributes that are close to what they had when they retired.
In reality, we do not know how many NFL vets actually retire and are persuaded to come out of retirement for another year. We also probably do not have good statistics that would show how well these NFL players do in the un-retirement year versus their previous year.
Clearly, unless the younger guys who retire were duds before they retired, it should be a no brainer to ask for them to be un-retired, if for no other reason, they are back-ups or trading material. To keep this thread shorter than some of the others, I do not think that this topic is broken. If it is, seems to me that the only alternative is that if a player retires after the age in which the game starts to decrease his attributes (retirement age), we let him stay retired.

Re: Un-retirement - Food for Thought
I see no issue here either. Maybe lower the % to unretire by 1 number in a age group if most think this is helping with too many old players, but again it is a choice and not mandatory. I also do not believe we are over aged really either.

Re: Un-retirement - Food for Thought
I believe the concepts for un-retire make sense as is.
