Joe Thomas weighing retirement, will make decision in offseason

Joe Thomas still isn’t sure if he’ll retire after this season or continue playing football. The question is one many have wondered ever since the stalwart offensive lineman missed his first NFL snap when triceps surgery landed him on injured reserve after the Cleveland Browns’ Week 7 overtime loss to Tennessee.

At the time, Thomas said he would weigh his options and assess at a later date, which he said would be after the season ended. With the Browns set to finish their season against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17, we’re closer to finding out whether the 32-year-old future hall of famer has the drive to complete his comeback and finish his contract with the Browns.
