00:00The Lane Johnson announcement from over the weekend, was it expected?
00:04We know that he missed some time for non-injury-related reasons.
00:08He comes back, speaks to the media for the first time, and says this is pretty much it.
00:12Were you expecting that sort of message from Lane Johnson at training camp?
00:17I was not, no.
00:18I did not go to work that morning expecting to hear the best player that I covered over the past
00:2315 years
00:24is going to retire at the end of the season.
00:26There have been murmurs in recent years that this would be his last year,
00:32that is he going to retire, is he going to retire, and you heard it a lot last offseason.
00:37But I had thought that Lane would come back, try to be healthy this year,
00:44and then evaluate at the end of the season.
00:47So the fact that he reached this clarity now, I give him credit for it.
00:52And obviously he missed a week for personal reasons,
00:57and I think that also helped provide some clarity there.
01:01But no, I did not expect this to happen on Saturday.
