Hester, looking for team, wants one more season

Devin Hester said he intends to play one more NFL season, but the most productive return man in NFL history wants to be fully healthy first.

The 33-year-old Hester, who was released by the Atlanta Falcons this week, said he feels about 75 to 80 percent healthy while recovering from January surgery to repair a broken sesamoid bone in his right big toe. Hester told ESPN that seven teams reached out immediately after his release, but he won't sign until his toe is back to normal.

"Teams already have tried to sign me, but I'm not ready to go," Hester said.
