Jets running back Curtis Martin announced his retirement on Thursday. But far more intriguing than his long-expected departure from the game was his suggestion that he wants to be an NFL owner -- and that he's apparently in the process of buying a team.

We know that Martin made good money playing football, but not the kind of jack necessary to buy an NFL team.

Besides, which NFL team is even for sale? Curtis might be able to get a good deal right now on the Falcons, and there have been rumors that Wayne Huizenga is willing to sell. Some league insiders think that Jags owner Wayne Weaver would sell if the price were right.

Regardless, it's big news from Martin -- and even bigger ambition.

Interesting. Never imagined the Dolphins would be for sale. Even with all the money Martin has, though, he'd probably need to find partners I would think. These teams don't come cheap. And hey, the NFL's been talking about expanding again. Who knows, maybe he'd want to get in on the ground floor of a new franchise?
