Bjoern Werner retires...

[Oz_Nole]

I hate his career never materialized. He was one of my favorites.

Mine too! Hope he made some good money to live on for a while

Definitely was not drafted to the right system imo, and then undid years of training for something that wasn't a natural fit, and then never recovered. Definitely feel bad but like it was said, made some nice money and shouldn't have to worry about the aches and pains 20 years down the road.

It is obviously estimated, but I think he did just fine: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/bjoern-werner-12304/cash-earnings/

He was never a fluid enough athlete to be a stand-up linebacker and cover athletic NFL TE's. He should have been an undersized rush end for some team. Oh well, what could have been...

Classic NFL "Tweener"...not sure there was really a position for him at that level

This is a prime example of why these threads GT moved to the PGSF. This discussion has no FSU basis.

So once they leave FSU they have no more FSU basis?! Got it....or not.

I just don't understand this. It's the offseason, there isn't that much to talk about. A former, and recent, standout retiring from the NFL has a lot to do with FSU. I guess we should create another thread about the 2017 depth chart?

he made some good money. was pretty darn good college player. had a great motor.

Agree with the above. I typically only go to the TC. Finding out about a former Nole in the NFL retiring is newsworthy. I don't live in Jax, and unless I dug through NFL news, if I didn't see this thread (which had already been moved) I may not have heard about it. Really not sure how this is not FSU Football related.

... and gator discussions seem to remain for some reason...

Hell of a lot more basis than your weekly gambling thread IN SEASON does....no reason for this thread to have been moved at all as it's about a former FSU Player and it's The OFF SEASON

I live in Virginia so I get all my info from the TC, PRB. I do not care which board it is. Geez!

Just trying to do what I'm told bro... It's fine to discuss the players time at FSU, but the reason there is a PGSF is to talk about the NFL/ Other pro sports.
