Sounds nice, I love ED, but I really don't get why now. If it means something to him, I'm happy

Rams hire Eric Dickerson as vice president of business development

The Rams have welcomed Eric Dickerson back into the fold. Nine months after the Hall of Famer’s spat with former Rams coach Jeff Fisher, General Manager Les Snead announced the team has hired Dickerson as vice president of business development.
“Really with the main goal of doing what he did for me a long time ago,” Snead said in video released by the team. “Bridging fans to our organization and then not only making them fans of the Rams, but making a difference in their life.”
Dickerson, who signed a one-day deal with the team Tuesday to retire a Ram, will host sponsors and VIP guests and work in the community as the Rams try to build a presence in the city they returned to a year ago after 21 seasons in St. Louis.
“It’s a really good feeling — it really is — to be back with the Rams in an executive position,” Dickerson said. “For me, my thing is I’m all about the fans.”

I don't get the disrespect Dickerson gets from so many Rams fans. They never did right by Dickerson. They never even offered a fair market deal. Georgia, John and Jay were cheap in those days. Have you seen the football life for ED episode ? Dickerson is telling Marcus Allen that the Rams were broke and then it cuts to John Shaw and with a big smile he says " no no totally untrue, there was no free agency back then so the players had no leverage ". That is how the Rams treated their best player back then. Dickerson never held out for money again after leaving the Rams. So what if he has opinions you don't agree with. At least he's honest and open. I also think he played at least a small part in getting the Rams to move on from Fisher, so I got nothing but love for one of my all time favorite Rams. Great hire !

The guy came in his rookie season and rushed for 1808 yards, still an NFL rookie seasonal rushing record. He cam back for an encore performance at totaled 2105 yards, the NFL rushing standard for a single season. You have a big Clydesdale at 6-feet, 3-inches who runs 4.3 in the 100, who unquestionably established himself as the best NFL RB from the start. He grossly outperformed his rookie contract; he is drawing fans to the Coliseum in LA of all places where there is so many other distractions, and the brass still wants to hold him to his rookie deal? You cannot keep exceptional employees that way!!!

I guess I don't see the point of retiring as a Ram? Is it needed to say, retire his #?

This is a Demoff move and it's his typical ham-handed attempt to reach out to the fanbase. He's just clumsy at it and tone deaf about it. Horrible.
That's how I read that part LOL.
Executive position? You're dishing our handies in the form of cheap photo-ops for people to post on their vapid Facebook accounts.
This guy is way too full of himself these days.

Too bad Wang isn't on the team. We could be saying things like,
Wang says goodbye to E.D. , for now.
or
Wang's encounters with E.D. may be limited to the sidelines and locker room in the future.
or
With E.D. back in the fold, Wang eager to get back in the trenches.
