The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... Garcia made reference in an interview Wednesday to retirement being an option if his contract stalemate with the Bucs isn't resolved. But I feel it necessary to point out some important context that has been made clear to me this afternoon: Garcia was talking about 2009 -- not this fall. That was just emphasized to me by a person in position to know.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Garcia was asked by Sirius NFL Radio what might happen if the dispute wasn't dealt with and Garcia became a free agent after this season. It was at that point Garcia made reference to possibly retiring. It's also worth noting that Garcia previously stated his intention to play this fall regardless of the outcome of his negotiations. He has never technically threatened to hold out from training camp, and he continues to show up for voluntary workouts, with perfect attendance to date.
