PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -The Buffalo Bills say they’re moving forward without leading pass rusher Aaron Schobel. The linebacker is home in Texas and considering retirement.
General manager Buddy Nix says from training camp outside Rochester on Monday that the team informed Schobel’s agent of its plans.
Schobel has been contemplating retirement the past seven months. He has spent his nine NFL seasons in Buffalo and his 78 sacks rank second on the team’s career list behind Hall of Famer Bruce Smith.
He broached the prospect of retirement at the end of last season, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Schobel has four years left on a $50.5 million contract extension he signed in 2007.
