Schobel to retire

Defensive end Aaron Schobel made it official today: He’s retiring rather than considering returning to play for the Texans.

Schobel walked away from an $8 million base salary with Buffalo this year but said he would like to play for the Texans. Now he’s elected to stay retired.

“Obviously, it would have been a great place to play, but at point of my career, I’m not going to sit here and tell you how I would have performed,” he said today. “I’m not saying I could or couldn’t have played at my best, but I’m just not 100 percent sure.

“I want to be done with it. I’m going to leave it as is. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play, anyway. I’m going to be 33 in two weeks, and I’m leaving the game on my terms and nobody else’s. I’m just going to leave it alone and retire.”
