Packers center Jeff Saturday said on Thursday he will wait until after Sunday's Pro Bowl to determine if he will retire this offseason.
"As soon as this game is over, we'll make that final call," Saturday said after Thursday's NFC practice.
Asked if he has already made the decision, Saturday said he had not. "I'll sit down with my wife and family, and hopefully we"ll come to a decision," he said.
This time last year, the longtime Indianapolis Colts center said he was leaning toward retirement but ended up signing a two-year, $7.75 million deal with the Packers ($4 million that was paid out in 2012) in hopes of winning a second Super Bowl.
It ended up being a disappointing season for the 14-year NFL veteran. He was benched in favor of Evan Dietrich-Smith in mid-December and then the third-seeded Packers bowed out of the playoffs in the divisional round to the eventual NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
"I wanted to get to a new place (after 13 seasons with the Colts), try that out," Saturday said. "I wanted to see if I could get that second ring. Unfortunately it didn't work out."
