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.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (11h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
