Longtime Chiefs OG Brian Waters has officially retired from the NFL after 13 season which included stints with the Cowboys and Patriots during his later years. He was obviously one of the best during that span, and should be mentioned along the same lines as Willie Roaf, Walter Jones, Jonathan Ogden, Will Shields, and Allen Faneca as one of the dominant Offensive Lineman of that era.

Yeah, he's got a shot. No rings hurts, even for a lineman though.

He was a big part of why Priest broke the TD record. Man was a beast.
Hoping he can get into the Hall, but I wouldn't bet on it.

This just might be me but it seems like these guys didn't get the credit they deserved until after they had declined or retired. sent from my pigeon carrier
