Barry would have the all-time rushing record easily had he kept playing, but basically quit because he was pissed at the Lions. I really don't see Emmitt Smith as worthy of the record. Barry quit too soon. I love watching his highlight reels. Why didn't he go to another team if he was unhappy with the Lions? My understanding was that he was still under contract and they weren't willing to trade him, so he decided to retire rather than have to play for Detroit.

What are the consequences if a player breaks his contract?

I saw someone else mention it but Vontae Davis retires at halftime in a game last season. That has to be the worst example of a player quitting in recent memory.

What are the consequences if a player breaks his contract? Typically they just don't get paid, I think, but I think the Dolphins were threatening to sue Ricky Williams for not playing at one point.

Billy the Fish.
He quit playing just because he was killed saving a booby-trapped ball in an FA Cup final.
