Makes you wonder if maybe Vince saw Buddy Johnson during OTAs and figured Johnson was going to eat into his snaps. To go from starter to 2nd string would be one thing. To go from starter to 2ndish or 3rdish string depending on the formation/need required would be a whole different mindset. It might make you consider why the heck you would even put yourself through another year.Just saw this. Bince seemed fired up for another season. I'm actually shocked by this. I'm wondering if he had some injury that popped up. Dude was always a beast in the run game and getting after the QB. Sad to see him retire. Good luck Vinnie Will.
This makes ILB pretty weak does it not? I think Williamson is still out there. He would do much better this year if he had a full camp with us.
He was vet minimum so probably thatMore cap money?
Still have Spillane, Gilbert, and Allen as well.Makes you wonder if maybe Vince saw Buddy Johnson during OTAs and figured Johnson was going to eat into his snaps.

(I'm hoping Johnson showed something and that Vince didn't just hang 'em up because he didn't have the fire anymore).
This is my opinion. Looked at himself and made the depth chart in his mind or asked for an honest assessment from MT and said I'm not going through camp to get cut. Always liked Vince. One of those players every team needs. If it was the NFL of 15 years ago he would have made pro bowls.Makes you wonder if maybe Vince saw Buddy Johnson during OTAs and figured Johnson was going to eat into his snaps.

I really liked Bince's style of play. He was a THUMPER and hit hard. Kind of reminded me of the James Harrison hitting hard. Bince's style of play is dinosoure for this modern day NFL. I really liked his time here
Good Luck Bince in your Life's Work.!
Salute the nation
