    Issac Bruce to retire as Ram

    Bruce to retire as Ram after trade

    ESPN.com news services

    Receiver Isaac Bruce will retire as a member of the St. Louis Rams.

    Bruce, who holds every major receiving record in Rams history, was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Rams on Monday so the receiver could retire with St. Louis.

    The 37-year-old Bruce and the Rams will hold a news conference Wednesday to announce his retirement.

    Among the Rams marks Bruce holds: most career receptions (942), career receiving yards (14,109) and receiving touchdowns (84). He also leads the Rams in all-time postseason yards with 759 and is the only Rams player with four 100-yard receiving games in the playoffs.

    In his 16-year career (14 with St. Louis), Bruce ranks second in receiving yards (15,208), fifth in receptions (1,024) and ninth in touchdowns (91).

    He also caught the game-winning 73-yard touchdown reception in Super Bowl XXXIV as the Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans.

    A four-time Pro Bowler, Bruce's name had still been listed on the 49ers' roster even though it was all but certain he wouldn't be back for the 2010 season.

    Bruce was drafted 33rd overall in 1994 by the Rams when the team was still in Los Angeles. He then spent his final two years in the NFL with the 49ers, appearing in 26 games and making 22 starts. Bruce led San Francisco with 61 catches and 835 yards receiving in 2008.

    One of the best all time. Should end up in Canton someday.

    I enjoy seeing guys like this being able to retire with their original team. I think that's awesome.

    I really hope he reaches Canton. One of the best, and classiest, of his era. At least has a ring that could help him

    Torry Holt's unsigned too right? Maybe he retires too, he looked awfully slow and out of rythm last year

    Oh wait, the pats got him
