I would've guessed Clifton, as well. But apparently not. The other two already said they're not retiring. Looks like pretty much everyone will be back next year.

There are going to be some big names on the street after Packers TC.

Woodson already said he isn't retiring too after the game. So thats two down.

Clifton played at a high level this season. No reason to think he would step down.

I feel like James Jones is on his way out. The key drops in big games coupled with the emergence of Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley have paved the way for him to escape. Look for him to sign for a big pay day to be a legit #2 receiver in a WR-needy city (Detroit, San Francisco, Carolina) this offseason.

If Jones leaves, Driver will probably be more likely to come back.

Peter King said that when he saw Donald Driver in the locker room after the game he had a feeling that Driver is going to retire...

...which means that Driver will be back. I'd give him one more year.

Woodson can play at least two or three more years. Clifton is most likely to retire, but only if he gets injured in training camp.

I made a thread about this a couple weeks ago....anyway,

I think it would be Clifton, but I'm not sure he WILL retire. He has been playing great recently. But I'm not sure those knees will hold up another whole year (didn't we say that last year, though?).

Also I believe Tauscher will retire.

I don't think Driver or Woodson will, especially considering that they didn't get to finish the big game.

And the fact that the Packers have a great chance of repeating next year would probably help them decide to come back. As Aaron Rodgers said, we are reloading next year with the best TE in the NFL and the other IR players.

I don't think Clifton will retire. He made it all the way through 19 weeks and helped largely to neutralize the Steelers' defensive line. I think he'll convince himself he's got at least another year in the tank and I'm almost positive he'll be in training camp.

I think Woodson will be around longer than any of them..As long as he stays healthy.

Woodson, Clifton, Driver?

All three have played, sacrificed and gave everything they have had to hoist that Lombardi.

I would list it as such.

1. Driver - Goes out on top, see how one of his friends stayed a bit too long, and has nothing to prove to anyone.

2. Clifton - Dude has knees that have got to agonize him weekly.

3. Woodson - Guy lives for this game, it flows deep inside him. I can't see him walking away yet.

I absolutely love and dislike then love again this thread question. It makes me think how much I appreciate everyone of those three... Then it makes me think about "The Draft" (Even though I am not worried about LT.)

What I dislike about it is... I can not add a damn thing.

It is a perfect assessment of all three.

Then... Just at the end of reading it.. I love it again thinking about all three of them wearing their ring for the rest of their lives.

I selfishly hope DD doesn't retire. I'm not ready for him to go. I know he has been struggling with his quad injury, but hopefully he'll heal up well in the offseason. I think he gives it one more year though his role will probably be diminished.
