Has Driver talked about retirement?

[packers11]

I was confused with a little post they put on ESPN about Driver...

"Driver, if this ends up being his last game in a Packers uniform, will surely go out with a bang and not a whimper."

Has he hinted or said anything? He still looks like hes in great shape and could play another 2-3 years with the packers...

[RashanGary]

Never said a word. When asked he says he's going to play till he's 40.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Never said a word. When asked he says he's going to play till he's 40.

Here we go again- can't that guy make up his mind!? What a drama queen.

[MJZiggy]

11, you're trusting ESPN???

[Brando19]

Maybe they're hinting that TT will cut or trade Driver. He has been known to do some crazy things in the past.

[MJZiggy]

He's been known to do crazy things, not stupid things.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think trading Driver would be smart, but he is too old to draw much interest.

[Brando19]

Jon Ryan and Tracy White? Pretty stupid. Uh huh...gotcha..........you thought I meant Favre.

[MJZiggy]

Actually I thought you meant drafting Justin Harrell.... :oops:

[Patler]

Driver does a couple minute thing on WTMJ radio the day after games, A week ago or so he said he wants to play another 5 years.

[Brando19]

Actually I thought you meant drafting Justin Harrell.... :oops:

:lol:

Actually...I believe TT was just pulling a late April Fool's joke on us there.

well obviously he's a liar and just made it all up for the hell of it

[GrnBay007]

Maybe he's just nervous cause he's one of the few players over age 28.

...sure hope he's back next year!!!

well obviously he's a liar and just made it all up for the hell of itIm not calling him a liar, but what I do know is that there isn't one word on ESPN.com about Drvier having his last game in a packer uniform. So, I would like to know where he got it from. Not hard for him to answer.

EDIT: Also there is nothing related to Driver on the GB newspaper sites or JSO.

Jon Ryan I'm not pissed about. Frost was no better, but Kampinos seems to be. From everything I've seen up to this point, I'd rather have Kampinos than Ryan. And that wouldn't have happened if we didn't take on Frost to begin the season.

Releasing Tracy White was a mistake though.

[channtheman]

I thought during this season he said somewhere he wanted to play at least 5 more years. I have no source and don't remember where this came from, but I vaguely remember reading or hearing that somewhere.

He has said this numerous times. TT doesn't like veterans, and Al Harris has gone on record saying he thinks this will be his last game as a Packer, and i'm sure with three first day picks invested in the receiving corps plus a solid back-up in Martin, that Driver is seeing the writing on the wall.

I doubt they get rid of Driver. Too much of a fan favorite, still an effective player, good presence in the locker room, etc. But, I've been surprised before by TT.

JSO has an article about it here: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/36788584.html

TT would be wise to ask himself: WWBBD, and model DD after the example of Troy Brown and keep him around as long as Driver would like.

If TT hated veterans, why is Kampman still here? Clifton? Tauscher? Barnett? Pickett?

I take it this is Hyperbole?

Kampman - Best pass rusher
Clifton - Best left tackle going into the season
Tauscher- Best right tackle going into the season
Barnett - Best middle linebacker
Pickett - Best run stopper going into the season

He obviously doesn't cut every veteran on the team. He does seem to go with the younger guy all things being equal and with the great WR corps it's possible he could replace him. I personally don't think he will until his production falls off a bit more than it has.

[Rastak]

As mentioned, it was Harris himself who seems to think he'll get the boot which surprises me. That tells me the players (at least some) also believe TT will go younger any chance he gets.

[MJZiggy]

And that worries me. I'd like to see him prove them wrong there. Wasn't it DD who was offered a raise simply for outperforming his contract? I would think that would tell him that he's valued, unless he thinks he's now making TOO much...

[wist43]

Doesn't matter if DD or Harris stay, or for how long... other than for fan appreciation.

The Packers are a long way from being a contender... so, Harris and DD are there just to play out their careers if TT doesn't pull the plug on them b/4 they retire.

Actually, if you learned how to read I specifically said "I doubt he lets Driver go" or something to that effect.

By my standard? What standard? TT has shown he would rather go with a young guy all things equal. Has this team not been on a youth movement over the years? Are we not the youngest team in the league?

You're grasping at strings that aren't there.

[3irty1]

I'd be surprised if either Driver or Harris was gone. They are both just too productive and you can never have too many great WR or CB. It was a bit upsetting though to read Al's comments about being traded. Makes you wonder who else is worried for their job in the middle of the season despite playing at a high level. I think the decision to cut KGB resonated with Harris.

You're grasping at strings that aren't there.But you said "TT hates veterans". IF thats true, as you claim, all those players I mentioned should be gone becuase TT hates them. Fact is, if a player is productive, TT keeps him regardless of age. Saying "TT hates Veterans" is bullshit and you know it.

No, but I guess we all have our own definitions.



Love
Like
Don't Care
Dislike
Hate
Despise

Where does it say that "TT hates veterans". That clearly does not.

The team is the youngest in the NFL for the third year in a row. Clearly TT would rather go with a younger team than a veteran team. I'm not going to argue with you. You're like a child.

The fact that Al has gone on record as saying he thought this was his last game, and DD said he recognizes that there will be changes and that he could be a part of them, speaks volumes.

If you want to nitpick, then fine, I don't think anyone respects you as a poster anyway, so keep on keepin' on. I have better things to do than nitpick with a child.

DD will be back.

EDIT: I find it hilarious that someone who told another poster to fuck off is calling someone else a child. Also, But you keep on making up your bullshit about TT. We'll keep destroying your weak arguments as usual.

I've backed TT almost every move (in hindsight not the ryan move). If he were to let these guys go I would be stunned. I would think he is off his rocker. Both are still extremely productive and valuable assets to any team. Clifton on the other hand as much as I have loved him over the years....if he doesn't come back and look better in camp then I gotta wonder. Tauscher is likely not going to be back by TC so you wonder about him too, I really hope we give him a 2 year deal, one cheap and one that is sort of a "team option" depending on how he recovers.
