Schobel to retire?
Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel is contemplating retirement, saying he's going to go home after the season before making a decision.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel is contemplating retirement, saying he's going to go home after the season before making a decision.
AFC East blog
ESPN.com's Tim Graham writes about all things AFC East in his division blog. • Blog network: NFL Nation
"I don't know my future really, what I'm going to do," Schobel told two reporters, including The Associated Press, following practice Wednesday.
Signed through 2013, Schobel's 75 career sacks rank second on the team list behind Bruce Smith.
The 32-year-old said he fears he's slowed down in his ninth NFL season since being selected by the Bills in the second round of the 2001 draft. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Schobel is having a solid year in which he leads the team with seven sacks, his most since registering a career-best 14 in 2006.
Buffalo (5-9) plays at Atlanta on Sunday.
Thoughts??Lets Go Buffalo!!!!

Re: Schobel considering retirement
not surprised... i think there is a point where you can only handle so much ineptitude in a team before you call it quits.
i remember Phil Hanson basically retired with a few years left in the tank for the same basic reason. he just was tired of losing.My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

Re: Schobel considering retirement
not a surprise. did you see him in the second half of the pats game? there were times where he just didn't keep going with the play. i don't believe it was because he couldnt but that he was just tired of being the best on the worst team.
i thought he played well this year, but he knows he doesn't have 3 more years of this in him to get the team to the promised land. from what i've heard, he's asked time and time again for help and he's gotten nothing. why should he give the bills anything more than what he's given?

Re: Schobel considering retirement
Good I hope he does retire. Free up some money to use in free agency. He's one of the most overrated and overpaid Buffalo Bill ever. An average player that gets paid like a star.
But he won't retire. Talking bs. He will be back to get that paycheck.

you want to lose the 2nd best sack guy in bills history to free up cap space.. so the 30 million in cap space we had free this year all year.. that wasnt enough???
