I'm surprised by the timing. He has a shot at a ring with Peyton as the quarterback.
Dawkins battled neck injuries toward the end of the 2012 season, and missed two of the Broncos' final three games of the regular season and the team's two playoff games. Dawkins' contract with the Broncos expired after the season, and The Denver Post reported he spent close to six weeks mulling over his options.

I am glad Dawkins chose retirement over possibly becoming crippled with one bad hit.
Good look in retirement Brian Dawkins, you had a wonderful career and I loved watching you play.
