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.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
