    I think we’ll see a lot of vets retire. Doubt they want to start over with a new HC. Rogers wont be back I bet.

    It was always Thielen's plan to hang it up at the end of the season. He was hoping to get a last hurrah with a playoff team but unfortunately that was with an Arthur Smith game plan and a Tomlin do what we do attitude.

    Always liked Thielen. Kind of a shame his role was as limited as it was during his brief stint here.

    Some team will get him to un-retire late in the Spring I bet.

    I dont know why it was, they were in desperate need of a #2 WR.

    As the OP stated, the first of many players to likely retire. I suspect that Aaron Rodgers is next. Cam Heyward wouldn't surprise me either; All Pro Season or not. Jalen Ramsey is likely jettisoned as he isn't what he used to be.


    Biggest one is Patrick Queen. Get his ass out of here ASAP. Dude is not worth his contract value whatsoever. :lolol:
