This whole thing just sucks. Can't fault him for his reasons, just wish it ended differently.

Season from Hell

It had to come sooner or later. Rip it down and build it back up on the oline, qb, and rb. Time for a change

Just announced. Lane is done.

I think something happened with his parents. Good for him on making family first. You only get one

Thanks for everything Lane

He should have retired before the season or after the season

Not "just announced ".

One positive, he's going out as an Eagle and only an Eagle. When he goes into the Hall, we don't have to share!

Liked a lot from what I saw from Bell on Sunday. All things considered, I think this is for the best. Get a 14 game preview of Bell to be able to go into the offseason to know if we need to draft a RT high or not. Or trade for one.

Honestly, a terrible season this year is going to be worth the sacrifice. On so many levels. I said before that a few more bad weeks would put me there, but I think I'm there now. I'd rather win 3 games than win 9 games and either just miss the playoffs or go one and done. This franchise needs a major reset. It needs a new QB, a new coaching staff, and good draft picks to address all the issues this roster now has.

I think in January we will look back at losing that Rams game as a blessing because of draft positioning and not a curse.

This season probably wasn't helping his depression honestly.

Tank tank tank. Sell sell sell. How sad and depressing this team is right now. Un'f'ing'believable.

Sheet happens. Offense has been a problem since last season. Time for a change

I’m not sure too many ppl know what exactly is going on with Lane but as of right now this tarnishes his legacy.

You don’t quit midseason.

All time goofy take

So, now Jake's the only LII player left?

At least maybe Bell got a few weeks to learn from him

Ertz too now

I guess BG was right about Lane retiring. Gotta hope that Bell will improve going forward.

I think we played pretty well Sunday. He'll keep growing

He could have a family member on their death bed for all we know.

Ertz is washed too. He should retire as well

Dude, STFU. Clearly there is something going on with his family. This guy has been a warrior his whole career. This wasn't a spur of the moment decision just because.

Yeah sorry, some of us work. 🤣

We agree on something. When you make a commitment you honor it. You do not quit on your teammates, team, or fans who paid your salary for all those years. If his parents were in such bad shape then make that choice during the preseason. You don't get your Michael Phelps on. He will always be the best RT to ever play, but that does tarnish his legacy. He abandoned everyone and I don't want to hear about putting family first. He took that into consideration when he decided to come back and this summer during camp. He could have walked. That is a dick move.

Lots of us have aging or sick parents. During that sabbatical if he was that concerned he should have informed the team. That is screwed up.

It literally says he did inform the team and was convinced to return

And he knew that was going on all summer and made a commitment. Warrior or not getting your Michael Phelps on is selfish in the middle of a season.

I hope he’s doing OK. And I hope his parent is doing all right. I kind of assume that maybe it’s something with his parents. I don’t blame him for leaving and doing what’s best for his family. It sucks for us on the field, but he gave everything for 14 years to this organization. And I thank them for that.

That said We’re at least gonna get to know if Bell is capable of playing right tackle going forward. So you will have more data about whether we have our right tackle of the future by the end of the year.
