You have to admire the man. Interesting article.

Most guys would be happy to cash the check even if their heart wasn't in it.

Yea I saw this and was surprized but then again guys are making choices that are in line with a healthy life style that allows time with family and a way to pursue thier interests.

Then he may be back next year ready to go.

When he was healthy and at the top of his game he could move the center of the line back into the QB it was fun to watch.

I see they picked up a FA DE Ray Drew.

Could be. I could see him at the podium.

Might also just want to hold his grand-babies some fine day, with a steady hand and clear head.

I hope the best for him.

It is seeming to be the thing this day and age. Have some productive years and get out before the serious injuries set in.

I hope and it sounds like he managed his money so I wish the best for him!

Made the pro bowl, got a super bowl ring. Made some pretty good money. Sounds like a good career if you ask me.

I think many of us would choose likewise given the same situation. I'd love me some money; but I'd much rather have all my faculties in place and not have an Escalade, or whatever indulgence.

I'd be happy with a newer truck. Heck, I'm happy without one. Guess I feel pretty dang rich.

Bling? I got a wedding ring. That's my blingage. Still, pretty happy with that , too.

An old Willys truck would go nice in my garage, though; along with a nice new pickup (make doesn't matter.)

packers should draft either, Kevin Dodd DE Clem. or Kenny Clark NT UCLA to replace Raji if he really wants to leave...if there still around

The last two mock drafts I looked at had two different Alabama DTs as the choice for the Packers.

maggie · March 25, 2016, 05:28:33 AM

well, we seen them play, looks as tho they have about 50 of them that played last yr...

They are a fast group. 'Bama just develops some serious talent.
