Sperm Edwards Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/n...le=HP_headlines Veteran Pro Bowl OL Mawae, current NFLPA president, to retire NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kevin Mawae, president of the NFL Players Association, is retiring from the NFL after 16 seasons and eight Pro Bowls. Mawae has called a news conference for Friday afternoon in Nashville, and a statement posted on the NFLPA's website confirms he will be announcing his retirement. The lineman played for Tennessee last season, starting all 16 games and helping block for Chris Johnson as he ran for 2,006 yards. The starts gave Mawae 241 regular season games played, at that time the most among active linemen. But his contract was up, and no team called to sign the lineman, who turns 40 in January. He will serve out his term as union president, which ends in March 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Loved Mawae while he was here. He was easily one of our best players and one of the biggest reasons for the success Curtis Martin had throughout his career. I'm nog going to bad mouth the guy. Thanks for a hell of a career Kevin.

Maxman Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 He was a great signing for the Jets. Really played his ass off here. Also he was WAY ahead of the curve on fan interaction. He used to have that player page on NFL.com and he would answer emails. He was very accessible. Enjoy your retirement Kevin. Not too bad, retiring at 40!

Thanks for a hell of a career Kevin. +1 Until Mangold, he was the best center I have seen in the Green and White. I wish him nothing but the best for his furture.

Boozer76 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm 90% sure he was the one who called Pennington an egg. For that alone he deserves the Ring of Honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always remember him for having ducked me at the ESPNZone that day. Great player, tough player, but an absolute pussy when it came to battling Tom Shane. Yes sir.

billo83 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Mawae was a great player for the Jets and I can't understand why anyone would hate on him. He didn't force his way out of town a la Pete Kendall; Manidiot dumped him. Sad thing is that it was probably one of the best decisions Manidiot every made since we got Mangold to take over.

BaumerJet Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/n...le=HP_headlines He will serve out his term as union president, which ends in March 2012. I would not be surprised to see Kevin take over Gene Upshaw's position after the new CBA has been completed. For a long time Kevin, when Upshaw was still alive, touted Mawae as his replacement. One hell of a career Kevin, even if you never got a ring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
