Last week Baltimore Ravens tight end Daniel Wilcox was given his walking papers by the team. He has yet to resign with another team and shared his worries and concerns with readers of his Yardbarker blog.

"A lot of people never think about this part of the game," Wilcox wrote. "This is the part of the game that you never really hear about. Since I didn't impress the Ravens enough last season, they didn't resign me. There's nothing worse than not knowing what's next for you and your family. Football sometimes feels like a girlfriend that you love like crazy, but she's always leaving and coming back into your life. You're always doing everything that you can to show her your love and affection, but she only gives you flashes, every blue moon, that she loves you back! As soon as you think she is really feeling you, you try to get comfortable. Then she drops you like a bad habit."

Wilcox is packing his bags and headed back to his hometown of Atlanta, while his agent tries to find him another team. Wilcox signed on with the New York Jets in 2001 as an undrafted free agent his rookie season and played in couple of games with the Tampa Buccaneers before settling in with the Baltimore Ravens in 2004.

"Moving on is like starting from scratch," Wilcox continued. "I'm scratching my head like where do I start, where do I go from here? I've been so faithful to football these last 8 years, now that she (football) has broken up with me, how do I start to date again (look for another job)? Should i wait for her, or should I just move on? Is she coming back again? I still LOVE her. It's pretty weird to think that I would have a serious career for 8 years and that it may be over at 8... I was not prepared for this, but yet I have been preparing for this the whole time! Strange right?!"
