quinnearlysghost88 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) I wanted to start this discussion for fun. There are a lot of players in the league who I feel like are always going to be there playing every Sunday until we die. We've grown up (old) with them, and have our own opinions and allegiances. For some reason, this year feels like it's going to be a huge tipping point for retirements (based on absolutely nothing, but lots of players just hanging on/around). Who do you think is done after this season? Hot takes and obvious picks both welcome. I'll get a few of mine out there: Brady Brees (HOT TAKE) Larry Fitzgerald Edited September 18, 2018 by quinnearlysghost88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of agree. I also couldn't believe Gates was on the field on Sunday. I had that guy on my fantasy team 11 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ben’s contract goes through 2019. He is scheduled to make 23 million bucks and it’s the last year of his deal. I don’t see him walking away from that. Brady will play a few more years in an attempt to legitimize his claims and make his buisness profitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a feeling though that the Steelers are in for a long year this year and Tomlin might be headed for the unemployment line... If that happens Ben might not want to be part of the rebuild next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 In the next 3 years I think we will be looking at a league without Ben, Brees, Brady, or Rodgers. Staffords and Ryans will be worth their weight in gold. Wars will be fought over Newton. The forward pass may become a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnearlysghost88 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 My sleeper is Gronk. I know he's only 30 next year, but he's taken a lifetime of hits and has already won Super Bowls. Plus, i think he's always just wanted to party full-time and accidentally fell backwards into a dynasty. Once that pressure's gone, he can finally fulfill his lifetime dream — endless spring break.
