Jon Feliciano retiring, but leaves door open for return for a playoff run
Pro Football Talk. ^

He had to leave the game because he knows that he wonโ€™t able to make it through an entire season. Feliciano did leave the door open for a short-term return to action, however.

Feliciano wrote that the 49ers or Bills, who he played for from 2019-2021, should call him in December if they need him because heโ€™ll be ready for a playoff run.

I think you'll see more of this as the NFL expands to an 18 game schedule which is stupid. Their bodies can't holdup and the owners just don't care about a players health as long as there are others to step in and make money with.

December’s a good time for that. Play 2-4 ‘preseason’ games and then go for the ring in the playoffs. Someone will have to get injured though.

You know that it would be untrue.
You know that I would be a liar.
If I was to say to you.
It’s time for me to unretire...

Sounds like something Aaron Rodgers would say, hey pick me up late season if youโ€™re winning and I might play a game and pick up that Super Bowl check.

**Sounds like something Aaron Rodgers would say, hey pick me up late season if youโ€™re winning and I might play a game and pick up that Super Bowl check.**

Can you blame him? 49ers were ready to call Phillip Rivers when Brock Purdy went down in the championship game. Niners lost that game so it was unnecessary.

There is no way a guard could walk on in December and play anyway near an NFL level. Donโ€™t care who it is.

He ruined the Star Spangled Banner in Game 5 of the 1968 World Series.

It’s been done often.

AFAIK, the NFLPA is strongly against an 18 game schedule. The number of injuries increases the further we get into the season. I donโ€™t think a second bye week will make a difference.

Who? What guards have reentered the league and played in December without practicing all year and actually performed?
