It's not like this line is going to retire tomorrow. The line is a concern and depth must constantly be addressed, but there is still time.

What about Pete Kendall or Jon Jansen retiring after this year. I honestly dont think well see them both in the league after this year.

Just like I don't see the entire line making it through the year, I don't see mass retirements either. Maybe next year, but as others have pointed out, lineman can still be effective well into their 30's. IMO, it's when they pass 35 that retirement is imminent.
