Samuels Will Hold Noon Press Conference on Thursday to Announce Retirement
 

The date is not set in stone yet but it looks like it will be official before this time next week

Unsurprising yet still...dang.

One of the greatest of all Redskins linemen.

Too bad his career got cut short, he was still in his prime. Definitely a great Redskin and I hope he doesn't have any lasting health effects.

re: Samuels Will Hold Noon Press Conference on Thursday to Announce Retirement
 

I hate to see it but I don't blame him one bit. He's financially set and he's still a young man. There's no need to ruin your health, you can't replace that. Smart decision if you ask me.

We could REALLY use a healthy Chris Samuels

I hope he can live a healthy life in retirement.

re: Samuels Will Hold Noon Press Conference on Thursday to Announce Retirement
 

Very sad to see this, but I'm glad he's using caution and preventing a possible serious injury with long term effects. As Goat said, may he live a healthy life in retirement.

A smart move by Samuels. One of the all-time great Redskins. Thanks for everything Chris!

So I assume this means that right now he's not feeling better mentally?

re: Samuels Will Hold Noon Press Conference on Thursday to Announce Retirement
 

Better to not risk it. CBS 9 just said they expect the press conf to be Thursday but also said it's not exact.

Well it's sad to see The Danny's very first pick hang it up. When his misses are always talked about it's nice that his very first was a damn good one. Thanks for the years Chris.

I thought Arrington was first?

HOF in my book, he always played his A game every week!! Never complained about the teams or qbs he had to protect lol .

You are right, Arrington was the 2nd overall pick in 2000 and Samuels was the 3rd overall pick in 2000. we had back to back picks that years due to draft trades the year before.

That's what you get for thinking. He was the holdout because he felt that he would've been drafted 2nd overall.
