As we previously reported in October, Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels plans to retire because of a severe neck injury, and he is expected to announce his decision in a news conference Thursday at Redskins Park.
Samuels consulted with many specialists, several of whom warned him about the possibility of becoming paralyzed if he attempted to prolong his career, people familiar with the situation said, but questions about his playing status lingered publicly because Samuels declined to officially announce he would not return for an 11th season with the Redskins.

Happy trails, Big Sam.

The tandem of
Samuels and Saun Alexander are still one of my favorites all time. Good luck to you in the future Chris!
10 years in the NFL is plenty
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.
Just hope he thought ahead...
…and invested well. Success should go past 10 years in the NFL.
Some are blessed with talent, and just a few of those are blessed to be Bama football players.
Thanks for the memories Chris.
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.
Good times...

Played with more
hatred and ferocity than anyone with whom I’ve ever played. Off the field, he was extremely cautious with his cash.
