Did Walter Jones retire yesterday?

Although he had previously stated that he would never announce his retirement via Twitter, that's exactly what Seattle Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones did yesterday.

Aside from the use of concussion instead of conclusion, his tweet was unambiguous, "I have came to the concussion it is time for me to retire from football."

However, ESPN blogger Mike Sando does not believe Jones, who had previously joked via Twitter about a "decision" coming, which happened to be which movie to see.

And, of course, Brett Favre's annual ritual of retirement-unretirement adds to the skepticism.

Maybe Sando is right as new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll recently said on the radio (KJR-AM) that Jones told him that he intends to come back, per Danny O'Neill of The Seattle Times.

Whether or not Jones returns to collect his $7.3 million salary for 2010, the nine-time Pro Bowler is likely to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in five (or six plus if he comes back) years.
