Enjoy retirement! Interestingly, he was offered a position on the Colts coaching staff, but he refused: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/02/10/matt-slauson-passed-on-chance-to-join-colts-staff/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He's had a long a fulfilling career. Wonder if his accolades will be enough to make the Hall of Fame or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Loved having him in Chicago, rooted for him when he left. He really took a leadership position for the team and took guys like Kyle Long and Leno under his wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoric Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I almost forgot he was here in Homeless for a bit. Dude couldn’t stay healthy for us but was adequate when on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strief owns a brewery and some other stuff down here too, so maybe he wanted to go more media sided with things. Slausen might just want some time away from football like we thought Strief wanted when he turned down the Saint offer. Or maybe he’s gonna be the new play-by-play guy for the Colts local radio broadcast and open a brewpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballard is likely to draft an OL because Joe Reitz, Le’Raven Clark and Anthony Castonzo are entering their last contract year (Ryan Kelly has the fifth year option available for 2020) and backup center Evan Boehm is a free agent.
