Defensive tackle La'Roi Glover announced his retirement this morning, bringing an end to a solid 13-year career with the Raiders, Saints, Cowboys and Rams. Glover was a Rams terror when he played with the Saints from 1997-2001, and he played in six Pro Bowls. He had a career year with 17 sacks in 2000.
The time was right for Glover to retire; he's 35, missed about half of last season and was becoming a diminishing factor on the Ram d-line. Having said that, his 11.5 sacks here in 2006-7 are nothing to sneeze at. He was a solid veteran leader for this team and was widely regarded as one of the Rams' toughest players.
And so time accomplishes something the early St. Louis Rams offensive lines never could: taking La'Roi Glover out of the game.
