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.

Clifton, he knows the team will be in good hands at LT with Bulaga.

Depends on the injury to Driver and how severe, but since he was cleared to 'come back' into the game, I think he'll be fine.

Woodson wants to be on the field when the confetti drops, he's coming back.

I think Clifton..Driver is a guy who knows he will have to take a back seat to someone, while still getting playing time. He will be willing to do what he needs to do to help the team. Woodson's going NO WHERE.

I think Cliffy retires but Driver and Woodson stay for one more go around.

My guess would be Clifton because of the wear and tear no his body. I would like to see him come back as I believe he would add excellent depth as a backup. Without the day-to-day rigors of starting he could make it a few more years

On the other hand Driver might retire in order to spend more time with his kids/family. Personally I hope that none of the three retire so that the team has a bigger pool from which to draw the best roster.

Neither would I.. but it was a note from Peter King MMQB that got me thinking about it.

Teams need leaders.. and I think it very apparent that all three are highly respected upon this team.

But time can be cheated but not beat.. I am guessing at least one of them goes out on top.

Driver is less than 90 yds from the all-time receiving in GB, He'll be back.

Woodson has a couple three left in him, He'll be back.

Clifton will probably play out the two years he signed for last year, He'll be back.

So none, I guess/hope!

Well one down.

Clifton: 'I'm not retiring'
By Bob McGinn of the Journal Sentinel
Feb. 7, 2011

Arlington, Texas - Tackle Chad Clifton made it absolutely, positively clear Sunday night that the 45th Super Bowl would not be his final game.

"Im not retiring," Clifton said with a huge grin.

Clifton, who will be 35 in June, has one year remaining on the two-year contract that he signed in February.

Clifton played in all 20 games after being forced to leave the Buffalo game in Week 2 with a knee problem.
