Phil Loadholt retiring

Recommended Posts

Phil Loadholt has told the Vikings he plans to retire, a source confirmed.

Loadholt, 30, was placed on injured reserve in each of the previous two seasons, only playing in 11 of the team’s 32 regular-season games. In 2014, a torn pectoral ended his season after 11 games. In 2015, he tore his Achilles’ tendon during the preseason and was lost for the entire season.

Loadholt was back on the field for spring workouts and lined up as the first-team starting right tackle during practices open to the media. But after experiencing another injury-related setback in the past few weeks, the 6-foot-8, 345-pound tackle decided it was time to retire.

Loadholt, who took a pay cut in March to remain on the team, was slated to battle with free-agent addition Andre Smith to start at right tackle.

The Vikings drafted Loadholt in the second round in 2009 and he started right away. He missed just two games in his first five NFL seasons and was one of the NFL’s better right tackles before injuries derailed his career.

Loadholt has also been a respected voice in the Vikings locker room and a strong representative of the organization in the community.

ESPN first reported that Loadholt planned to retire from the NFL.

Better than both Remmers and Oher, just couldn't stay healthy.  A true Sooner.  Enjoy retirement, Phil.

I stand corrected. You and the girl that pretends to be a character from a TV show are the only ones posting non panther related poo on the main forum. 

Damn, you still didn't pay attention?  It was some dude named Arsen.

And another thread was posted about Elliot by some MC guy.  

So, yeah.  Not me and two other people.   

And Jeremy posted about Greg Hardy.  So there's 3 other people.  

He also posted about plain vs peanut M&M's.  But yeah, I'm the only one.  What a complete fail that is.

"I'm going to get butt hurt, and defend my OP that nobody gives a fug about, by pointing out that another poster (one much more respected than I),  posted about that idiot, Aldon Smith!!!

 

Where is the justice?

 

I demand fairness!!"

 

Yes, boys and girls, it's Monday on the huddle.

should I go back and edit it to "daily"? would that be more accurate?

Sure, checks activity.  Finds out he hasn't started a thread since Thursday, and before that July 19th.  So, wrong again.  Do you enjoy being wrong or something?

    • thats fair.   I was beginning to think rookie punter was in the plans 
    • Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.
    • Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
