Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light isn't showing his hand on whether he'll retire, but a source tells ProFootballTalk that Light has already decided to hang up the cleats.
Light, 33, has started on the left end of New England's offensive line for the past decade.
"No, not really. Although my wife has a pretty good idea on what is going to happen with me," Light told reporters Wednesday at a charity event when asked if he has a timetable for his decision, according to ESPN Boston. "She keeps me pretty busy."
New England recently re-signed two of its interior linemen in Dan Connolly and Dan Koppen, not to mention it still has guard Logan Mankins and recently-signed guard Robert Gallery to join tackles Nate Solder and Sebastian Vollmer on a crowded offensive line. Also, Brian Waters is still under contract for a year, though he's on the cusp of retiring, as well.
“You know, at this point, I’m just kind of taking it day by day,” Light added. “We’ll see how it goes. Sooner than later.”
