Joe Thomas has retired
-
I respect the man for all the effort he has put through all this tough years, and I understand that at one point you have to think how do you want to live the rest of your life. NFL takes a lot from the players' body.
Take care, Joe and hopefully we'll see you around in some other way! (broadcasting, HOF...)

I kind of figured he was going to hang up his cleats. Every time I saw a pic of Joe, he looked thinner than the last pic. He’s going to be in Canton in 5 years wearing a gold jacket.
-
I think the 4th pick getting traded is almost a certainty now.
-
Say it ain't so, Joe
-
I wish he could have gone one more year with a chance of winning games with his team.
But it's been eleven years - he wants to be able to walk and golf, do things with his family before
the toll gets too be too much. He won't be poor, btw.
If only we could go fishing with him one of these days -that would rock.
All the respect in the world to ya, Joe Thomas. You rock off the field as well - HOF.

Yes report says Browns have known for some time
Might have been strategy and the Browns asked him to hold off on the announcement. If they seem desperate for an OT might raise the asking price of other OTs.
-
What a crying shame Joe couldn't have been part of something greater. What an amazing player and can't blame him at all for this decision. $100 million earned in your early 30's and so many job opportunities ain't so bad. I would love to see him have a shot at MNF I think he would do excellent.
Definitely puts OT into the mix high this draft. I know we just got Hubbard but might sniff that position at #33.

I mentioned this in another post, but this puts Quenton Nelson on the Browns radar. yes, he is a guard, but some feel he can play tackle. Or the browns could kick Bitonio out to left tackle as well. I think more than likely though is the browns are going to trade back into the first to grab a tackle that might be falling. McGlinchey or Miller, etc I would love it if it was Williams from Texas. Last year at this time, they were making Joe comps to him.

Cheers Joe, you'll be missed!

I can see it now...4 games left to go in the season, the Browns starting LT goes down..is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope.. it's joe thomas soaring in with his superman costume and taking his place leading the browns to a super bowl victory...it would be glorious.

Thanks for everything Joe! Best Cleveland Browns player of my Era!

Just think of the massive effect this will have on our record......

I was just sitting here wondering as i started reading the thread whether your or Ghoolie would post the silly post about the lack of importance Oline has. This is a HUGE loss.
