Twitter: Sean Lee doesn't sound ready to retire

[JW82]

So expect Jerry to hand him a 6 year $90mil contract.

Sean Lee does not sound ready to walk away as a player to become a coach just yet. “You kind of go back and forth on things at times as you get older,” he said. “But the problem is anytime I go on the field and I get to play and you make a couple of plays, you’re like, ‘Well, I like this too much.’ And that is my problem: I love this game too much. I love this organization a lot. And I love playing and I love playing the position, linebacker. I joke to my wife that I’m addicted to it at times.”

How about if personnel makes that decision for ya, Sean, ya think?

 

[G2]

I love the guy, but there may come a time when he doesn't have a choice.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Four years in college (We Are Penn Penn State) & eleven playing in the pros. I doubt your body would last even 4 years. Lee even offered a cut in pay.

Nothing but class combined w/greatness!

He's the greatest to ever wear a Cowboys uniform.

You don't deserve this thread.

Meh. I don’t really mind him staying. Unlike Witten, he’s not really taking away time or plays from talented people behind him. Plus he’s actually a really good coach and motivator for the LBs. He’s practically a coach. If that’s what it takes to to stay and coach on the sidelines, so be it. Hopefully we draft a LB this upcoming draft for Lee to mentor.

Four years in college (We Are Penn Penn State) & eleven playing in the pros will do that to any player. Lee even offered a cut in pay.

Darn good LB when healthy and you know he loves the game. But I think a good junk of the decision comes down to money.... Sean Lee makes 3.5mil a year now,,,,,what ya think a LB coach makes...maybe 500K to 1mil at the most.

Big drop in pay......to be a coach.

Bobby Wagner's body has held up. More games played in less seasons.

 

[John813]

Loved him but its time my man. Don't be like Witten playing past your prime on another team getting very limited snaps.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

If Lee wants to continue to play, it may be elsewhere.

 

[Floatyworm]

Neither did Witten. Been nice having you Sean.

Jerry Jones' toughest cut.....next to T.O.

 

[jazzcat22]

He will be in a Raiders uniform next season. We may get a comp pick.

 

[Whyjerry]

I did see some plays where he look lost and gave up.

54 does that every quarter of every game.

 

[vicjagger]

I would really, really, really like to see Sean Lee have a terrific game this weekend. It might be his last (as a player) in Dallas.

And I do mean REALLY.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Lee bleeds Cowboy blue.

How could you not love someone like that?

Because he is not good anymore and doesnt contribute to winning football

Would like to see him finish out his career somewhere playing for a top-notch defense. He might not can be a full-time player anywhere, but it's been a tough road for Lee and he's given it all he's got. He deserves better than what he's experienced here.

 

[Avery]

Lee can come back, but not at 4.5M. He’s nearly vet min at this point.

 

[JoeKing]

If you're going back and forth about it that means you're thinking about retirement. As a football player if you're thinking about it you may as well do it. Start your coaching career, Sean Lee.

I expect Lee knows that he's got folks in KC and Indy who want him playing there.

Coaching-wise, I expect he'd be more likely to follow Eberflus than anyone.

I think that’s the situation
Maybe MM was sending a little message in the talk about coaching
