Chad Clifton Has No Plans To Retire (Jason Wilde)

he is done.

It's tough to give it up but I don't believe he could be anything more than a coach at this point.

For a guy who's been one of the quietest Packer greats ever to play in Green Bay he talked to a great extent in this interview.

Chad Clifton has persevered through perhaps as many injuries as any player in the history of the game of football and I can't believe he's not hanging it up after everything he's been through. This is a guy that really loves football. He's essentially telling the Packers he'll work his ass off all year -for free- just in case they need him. That's an honorable man.

If he can get himself healthy and pass a physical I'd have no problems with the Packers keeping him on the ready list if injuries hit hard. I don't think he'd play for anyone in Division if called but I wonder where he would accept a deal.

Why not? I wouldn't expect any former Packer to turn their nose up at a job offer within the division.

I think we sometimes forget that the only people left in sports that are loyal to the organization are the fans... and even then the ranks are littered with dumdums.

I see the Bears calling him immediately & if they offer him a starting position, I don't see any reason he'd turn it down if he can pass the physical

Rong.

Clive St.John, Wolverhampton Wolves 1974-79.

....Goalkeeper.

He may be able to grind out a couple more years as a backup/sometimes starter with a team that has a really poor OL, but that's about it.

Warren Sapp did it

I assume

If Clifton can find a starting job somewhere (even with the Bears) then he'd be remiss not to take it.

Granted, some of the younger guys on the line could use him as a mentor, but not at the cost of a roster spot.

Best of luck. Regardless, we'll see Clifton in the Ring Of Honor sometime down the road alongside Tauscher.

Ring Of Honor? I'm going with no.

I'm pretty sure every member of the ring of honor is also in the pro football hall of fame. Don't think Cliffy is going to make that cut. It would be nice of the Packers to bring him out on family night to let the crowd say goodbye to him.

taking plays off again?

Let me get this straight.... Dr. Bobya both offends and interprets brysco69

Now you have to drink.

Clifton got owned and disowend in the last game. Hopefully he does come back and play for the Bares. Perry may look all-pro during it.

Cried? What a pussy. Typical goallie.

Have I reminded you lately how much I loathe you, Orange Guy?

Hate you.

You've been failing again. I actually feel loved again because of your Worthian ways. Slacker!

Did you mean "Typical goalie" or "Typical Goalline"? Either one would fit here.

Yeah, I thought Snorton was the guy with the big sweaty black men site...
