Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas said Tuesday night he is close to making a decision on his future.
Thomas, 33, has been debating whether to retire and go into television broadcasting, or return for another season.
Thomas, attending the National Football Foundation Annual Awards Banquet in Cleveland Tuesday night, told WKYC he hasn't been offered any TV jobs yet but he's exploring options and said the end is coming sooner than later.
Thomas, who has auditioned for both ESPN and Fox as an NFL analyst, said he planned to make a decision before next week's start of free agency.
