The 2012 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their 103 candidates today. Among the newly eligible are former coaches Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, and Marty Schottenheimer. Some of the new player candidates include Keyshawn Johnson, Tiki Barber, Rod Smith, Stephen Davis, Will Shields, and Drew Bledsoe. Taking a look at the list of first year eligible players, I don't see any of them being enshrined in Canton. Except for one.

Seven new members will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, on Saturday night. But what about next year?

What about former player Tiki Barber, and former coaches Bill Cowher, and Bill Parcells, who will be eligible for election for the first time?

Running back Tiki Barber, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2006, has filed papers with the NFL to end his retirement. Espn.com has the story, below.
