“So I think when one thing closes as football has for me for 32 years of my life. And I look forward to what’s ahead.

He did say Football closes for him. No way he is coming back in my opinion. One thing i know once the preseason starts no way would he come back once that starts. Like he said he knows how his body feels and it does not recover like it used to
