Well deserved. Really couldn't ask much more of a player no matter what number they were drafted as. Leading Tackler in team history, was available for every game while in a Packer uniform. Did the dirty work to allow those around him to make the plays and get the highlights.

Most under appreciated Packers player of my lifetime.

Good for AJ. I am neither in love with him nor one of his many haters. It was good for him that he came out in a very weak draft but unfortunate for the Packers who will hopefully never select 5th again.

So A.J.Hawk is to return and retire as a Packer. I'd be very interested in the mechanics of just how that will take place. Will he get a 1 day contract , followed by a home game in GB where he will officially retire.

#50 has my full respect and I support this action . [thumbup]

My guess is he will sign one day in the preseason and then retire the next. They only have 90 slots available.

Yea these contracts are largely ceremonial. His papers are will be filed and he'll be officially on the retired list.

I don't think he'll get much pomp and circumstance, but I bet he'll get some halftime mentions this season or next.

Congratulations and thank you to A.J. Hawk.
I'm sure he will step onto the "frozen tundra" at least two more times.
Once to honor his retirement as a Green Bay Packer, and once to honor him as he is inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame.

If he had been drafted outside the top 10 I think most people would be calling it a good solid pick. The fact that everyone was expecting so much more out of him as a #5 overall pick is unfortunate for him.

Say what you will about his performance there were not many people who showed up and gave it their all like he did week after week and he took took it in the wallet a couple of times to stay in Green Bay.

Sure I would have liked to have seen a lot more out of him but I'm perfectly fine with the career he had here.

dfosterf (16-Mar) : The talent is undeniable, but the (advertised) haul is obscene.
dfosterf (16-Mar) : If the Bears are cutting a deal with the Commanders, in either scenario, cannot happen until williams passes a Commanders physical
