I live near his hometown (Columbus, TX) His parents operate a restaurant. On Mar 19th we stopped there at lunch time and guess who was behind the counter making himself a plate from the buffet line. Aaron and his brother Matt. My son was wearing his Aaron Schobel jersey at the time. We talked to him for a minute and he signed my son's jersey. Took a group picture..... I wanted to ask him about his retirement decision but didn't want to bug him. He said something about being out of shape so that may be indicative of his passion.

I always wondered if that restaurant was his family's. I think there's also another Schobel's on I-35 betwen San Antonio and Austin.

My gut feeling is that Schobel has already informed the team that he intends to retire. The Bills told him to sit on it for a couple more weeks and really give it a second thought. If he decides to retire, the Bills will announce it soon after the draft to try and lessen the blow. A Russ Brandon marketing decision the whole way. Bad news is always taken a bit better after some good news (the draft).

YES!!

 

Lets do the sign. Bring him back.....

 

and TRADE him.

 

 

A guy who who contemplates retirement for 6--7 months is never going to come back to give it everything he's got. IMO when you're mentally doubting everything, its very hard to translate that to a complete physical commitment. especially over a long period of time in the face constant failure (possibly) . We're better off using him as trade bait.
