EDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Bengals OG Clint Boling retiresTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Kirk Irwin/Getty ImagesCincinnati Bengals guard Clint Boling is retiring from the NFL, he announced Monday. Boling cited medical reasons for the decision to call it a career. “After eight years in the NFL, it is time for me to step away from the game due to medical reasons,” said Boling in a press release. “This is not an easy decision, but it is the right one for me, my wife Kelly and our two young girls. I want to thank the Brown family for giving me the opportunity to play my entire career with the Bengals. I also want to thank my teammates Preston Brown Jersey , coaches, fans and everyone who has supported me throughout my career.”Boling has been with the team since being a fourth-round pick out of Georgia in the 2011 NFL Draft. He’s been the full-time left guard since 2012. “Clint is a first-rate person, someone we all counted on and looked up to,” said Bengals owner Mike Brown. “As a lineman, he never got the credit he deserved. That is often the case with good players who do their jobs well, but around the team Ryan Finley Jersey , he was highly respected and appreciated beyond his playing abilities.”Boling was held out of OTAs with an undisclosed injury, and rumors persisted that his career could be coming to an end. He finishes his NFL career with 111 game appearances (109 starts) all of which came in Cincinnati. Since becoming a full-time starter, Boling has never missed more than four games in a regular season. He played all 16 games in five seasons, including each of the past two years. He has also played briefly at both offensive tackle spots. With Boling now hanging up his cleats, the Bengals will have a battle for the starting left guard spot between John Jerry, Christian Westerman Cheap Renell Wren Jersey , Trey Hopkins and fourth-round rookie Michael Jordan. At this point, there wasn’t any real doubt that Boling was the Bengals’ best offensive lineman, so this is a big loss for a unit that’s already facing major questions heading into next season. Hopefully, Boling is getting to retire with a healthy body and won’t face any post-career issues. Adios, amigo. After a struggling rookie season, Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Laquon Treadwell continues to have former players reach out to him with their advice.Finishing his rookie year with as many catches as his team’s quarterback is likely not what Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had envisioned for himself before the start of the 2016 regular season. However Michael Jordan Jersey Limited , that was exactly the case as Treadwell and Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford both ended 2016 with one catch.To say that Treadwell’s first NFL season was a disappointment may be the biggest understatement of the year. It is safe to say that Minnesota had big expectations for the wide receiver when they used their first round pick to select him in the 2016 NFL Draft, but Treadwell was unable to find his way onto the field for some reason this year.Article continues below ...Apr 28, 2016; Chicago, IL, USA; Laquon Treadwell (Mississippi) with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after being selected by the Minnesota Vikings as the number twenty-three overall pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft at Auditorium Theatre. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY SportsIn an effort to help the young pass catcher reach his full potential with the Vikings, a number of former wide receivers have been rumored to offer their advice to Treadwell over the past few months. Even former Minnesota greats Randy Moss and Cris Carter have tried to help the struggling rookie get on his feet.Most recently http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/alex-redmond-jersey , former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson took to Twitter to offer a helping hand to Treadwell this offseason.Many remember Johnson for his success with the Bengals in the early 2000s and his wacky touchdown celebrations (Riverdance anyone?).But behind those silly touchdown dances was actually a wide receiver with an incredibly hard work ethic (he allegedly used to sleep in Cincinnati’s film room a few nights a week). Johnson’s commitment to his craft led him to catching at least 85 passes in five straight seasons with the Bengals from 2003 to 2007.Next: Marcus Sherels misses out on $100KPerhaps some help from Johnson this offseason could help Treadwell out-catch his quarterback in 2017?More from The Viking AgeMarcus Sherels misses out on huge bonus with Minnesota Vikings19h agoMike Zimmer ‘on a mission’ to get the Minnesota Vikings ready for 201719h agoShould they stay or go? 2017 Vikings free-agents: Matt Kalil1 d agoVikings DE Brian Robison says Danielle Hunter ‘earned a shot’ as starter1 d agoMinnesota Vikings sign 3 more players to Reserve/Futures deals1 d agoThis article originally appeared on
