I just heard Chris Samuels is going to retire. Can anyone confirm what is being said locally.
If so, we are really going to need some help with bringing in good talent for the our O-Line. Lets just hope we get Chris Samuels type talent.

Samuels definitely will be on our 100th anniversary team of all-time Redskin greats. A True Redskin indeed.

Hadn't heard anything official. Just that it is being "strongly encouraged" by some medical professionals

That's really a shame, Chris has been an anchor for this team for years. He will be missed greatly. I'm glad he's getting out before any sort of life threatening injury takes place. Good luck in the future!

Damn that sucks. Can't blame the guy for putting health first though.
I thought he would as I heard the neck injury was potentially....serious. He WILL be missed on and off the field. It will help expedite the...mandatory overhaul of the O-line.

Heard that too today. Wish it was not true but it sounds like it may be. He has been a True Redskin.

I think I can confirm, but not 100% sure and not sure when the retirement would actually happen. Like would he IR the rest of the season and then retire in the offseason? I don't know.
