The Buffalo Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel will turn 33 years old by the first day of September, and he is now thinking that he might have been too old to play more football, so he would be fine and announce his retirement if the Bills finally decide that they do not need the defensive end any more.
"I think this coaching staff is OK with moving on without me, and that’s fine," Schobel said via the team’s website. "I understand he has to come in and do what he has to do, but at this point in my career that’s what has to happen for me to play. If September rolls around and Buffalo wants me, then maybe I’ll play. But I doubt it."
Even if Schobel retires, the Bills will not lose much in productivity. The 32-year-old man had only 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, four passes batted down and one interception in 2009 season. Schobel used to say that he wanted to preserve his body for post-career life, which will be spent mostly on staying with his three young children. He may also put on his wife’s favorite Vikings jersey to watch other teams’ game. On the other side, the Bills GM Buddy Nix told reporters recently that the team would keep Schobel if the player still wants to play.

Bills QB Edwards is ready to lead a talented offense
The Bills QB Trent Edwards was the one who sent a text message to team GM Russ Brandon and urged him to pursue WR Terrell Owens released by the Cowboys. This brought a great change to the Bills offense.
Owens' coming to the Bills will bring a Pro Bowl season to fellow WR Lee Evans. And he will also help playmakers like Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed become more productive.
Thanks to Edwards, he proved himself to be a wise offense leader. He prudently saw the advantages of bring Owns to the team and urged the office to do the right choice. We can expect that with the offense lead by Edwards, the Bills will get more wins.
