According to reports by the Washington Post, the Washington Redskins left tackle Chris Samuel will take off his NFL jersey once and for all this week, announcing his expected retirement before the deadline for free agency.
Samuel suffered a neck injury in an October loss to the Carolina Panthers and speculation has spread since then that he will retire after 10 years with the Redskins. According the reports, Samuel will announce his decision on a press conference this week, right before the Friday deadline for free agency.
Actually Samuel made the decision after consulting with a team of doctors since sustaining the neck injury. And all the doctors advised him not to continue playing football because that could cause paralysis. With Samuel’s retirement, the Redskins and first-year general manager Bruce Allen and first-year coach Mike Shanahan will have much more work to do to improve the team’s offensive line.
