Recently-acquired Raiders fullback Rob Konrad has decided to retire before he plays a game for the silver and black, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Oakland signed Konrad in March to a 1 year deal worth $700,000.

At that time, Konrad said he was looking forward to reuniting with Raiders head coach Norv Turner. Both were with the Miami Dolphins during 2002-2003. Turner served as the team's offensive coordinator.

The 28 year-old Konrad did not participate in Oakland's three-day mini-camp over the weekend. Konrad's agent said, "His heart's just not in it anymore. I tried to talk him out of it, but this is what he wants to do. He has lost his love, his passion for the game."

Konrad started only 13 games the last 2 years because of numerous injuries.
