So retirement HAS to be on his mind. Before that, I too would have said NO WAY he retires. But now I wonder. Regardless of how great AD has been for us, I still think he needs to be with the team through the season. He's extremely vital but still just a PART of a team. After next week, he'll have months to spend with his kids. Him being away is not a good look. Not a good example to the young guys that are getting game time now. AD....even if in a quiet way could be a great leader on the sideline too. AD being away also shows where his head and heart is . IMO THE biggest reason why people think he's a goner.
