He will always be in his brothers shadow. Winning 2 consecutive Super Bowls with 2 different teams, then retiring.

If he has an agent, he probably should have consulted them before sending that out, but on the other hand, maybe he is truly done, and, if so, it doesn't matter.

Chicagoans never went hard after Long just because he was injury prone the last few years. Nowhere near as bad as it would have been in other cities, namely NY, Boston & Philly.

nope.

He really only played three full seasons at full strength.

weird that he was so defensive in his tweet. i was surprised he only played 7 years, felt like he'd been around 9 or 10 years.

Is he actually retiring or just taking time to recover?

say he takes a year off to recover

he will be a 32 year old, frequently injured OL when he returns. I really don't see a path for him to play again.

Agreed. I could see him transition into coaching pretty easily though.

Will always remember Long for representing a terrible era of Bears football, not his fault, but he was the classic case of a GM thinking he had outsmarted the rest of the league by drafting a raw undeveloped prospect later in first round that would develop into an all pro LT. One of the few picks from Phil Emery's disastrous tenure as GM that actually contributed. Also will remember his pick for the sound of Hub dropping his pencil in disgust during the draft show.
