After lost season with Jets, Colon not ready for retirement

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Willie Colon watched his friend D'Brickashaw Ferguson walk away from football, capped by a celebration of a terrific 10-year career at the New York Jets' facility.

Retirement might be fine for Ferguson. Not so much for Colon. Not yet, anyway.

''The fire and the want-to to play the game is still very much bright and fiery in my heart,'' Colon said Thursday after Ferguson's retirement news conference.

''Now, we all know your body might have a different answer for you,Official Nike Los Angeles Rams Jerseys but I'm going to exhaust all options and squeeze the limit out of me and if I can't get back on the field, I'm OK with that.

''But I can't go to bed at night knowing I didn't absolutely exhaust every option given to me out there.''

Colon turned 33 last Saturday and was limited to just six games last season after going on injured reserve last November because of a chronic knee injury. He's also without a contract as a free agent,NFL Jerseys Sale but hasn't ruled out a return to the Jets.

''I just hope they haven't ruled me out,'' he said. ''I don't mind being Bull Durham, you know, the old guy on the club.''

Colon won the starting right guard job in training camp last summer despite being considered a long shot at first because of his ailing knee. He was replaced by Brian Winters, who was serviceable, but Colon believes he can still be a starting-caliber player in the league.

His knees feel good again, he said, and he has gotten some calls from other NFL teams.

''But, it's more just window shopping,'' Colon said.

2 restricted free agents re-sign with Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed tight end Jack Doyle and safety Akeem Davis.

Both players were restricted free agents.

The 6-foot-7, 267-pound Doyle grew up in Indianapolis and has seen his role increase in each of his first three seasons with the Colts. It could happen again after Coby Fleener wound up with New Orleans in free agency. Doyle has caught 35 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns.

Indy claimed Doyle off waivers from Tennessee after the undrafted rookie was released in 2013.

Davis has one career tackle in 19 games and has played for four teams, including the Colts, who signed him during last season.
