Really liked his quote on his retirement:

Not many players get to go out on their terms, and after 11 years playing in the NFL, I am officially retiring from the league,” Pugh said (via ESPN.com). “I thought I was going to do another one, but just didn’t have it in the tank. I started losing weight and started feeling good, and didn’t want to do a 12th year.”

He would disagree:

"What I realized, offensive line was the position that was for me. I was built perfectly for it, and it's something that you don't choose."

Media career and figuring out how to teach current players to plot their post career careers.

You might hear more of him than the past couple years. And it will be great.

That would be ideal. He loves Cuse. Think he’s doing some investing work too.

Great player.

Wonder if he goes into coaching? Seems like a natural progression

All that despite his freakishly short arms!

Fran call Justin and get him on the coaching staff teaching guards and interior OL's how to play the positions well.

He needs someone else to shampoo his hair.

Oh yeah? Ask him for a high five, he'll tell you he prefers a chest bump.
