Leonard Little has yet to make his decision about returning or retiring from the NFL.

But if he decides to play another season, he may have more than just the Rams wanting his services.

As the new defensive coordinator in Washington, Jim Haslett has let it be known that he believes Little is still good for 10+ sacks a season--provided he stays healthy and is used appropriately.

The situation is similiar with the Rams--who have made it clear to Little they would like him back if intends to play in 2010.

Little missed three games due to injury last year, but still led the Rams with 6.5 sacks. It's that ability that should keep him effective on pass rush downs.

With 87.5 career sacks, the idea of 100 sacks is an achievable goal--but Little has shared that he wouldn't return to chase after any statistical goals, playing the game was about winning and having fun.

What's not so clear is if Little would have more fun in another city or if the wear and tear of twelve seasons has been enough and he's ready to walk away.
