SI.com's Peter King hears that Jonathan Ogden is having "fleeting thoughts" about playing football again in 2008. Ogden was reportedly "certain" he'd retire just after the Ravens' disappointing 2007 season, but has been impressed with new coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens would welcome Ogden back, but need an answer soon. Source: SI.com http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_NFL.aspx
Ogden's been one of the best in the business ever since leaving UCLA. If he's got anything left in the tank, there'll be teams interested.
Ravens left offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, who has been selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times in his 12 NFL seasons, visited Baltimore recently for an autograph session during a 2000 Super Bowl team reunion. Ogden hasn't informed management yet, but he did tell some of his former teammates that he was going to retire before the start of the 2008 season. That's no surprise, but it's about time Ogden let team officials know about his decision. But knowing Ogden, and his desire to stay out of the limelight, he might let Ozzie Newsome know through a text message. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-sp.preston12apr12,0,7382865.column
