NFL | Browns LB Willie McGinest says 2008 is final season
CLEVELAND — Browns linebacker Willie McGinest says the 2008 season will be his last.
McGinest told SI.com that he wants to finish his career on one last playoff run.
"This will be it," he said. "This will be my 15th season. I've worked hard; I think I've done everything I set out to accomplish."
McGinest, who played 12 seasons and won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Browns in 2006, reuniting him with his former defensive coordinator, Romeo Crennel.
In two seasons with Cleveland, McGinest hasn't been the pass-rushing threat that he was with the Patriots. He has seven sacks and 107 tackles in 27 games for the Browns.
He had 78 sacks with New England, and set the record for most postseason sacks with 16.
"I have no regrets or no qualms about my career," McGinest said. "I've done everything a football player can do, and I've done it more than once."
Note
• A federal judge ordered imprisoned QB Michael Vick to repay more than $2.4 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan.
The Royal Bank of Canada sued Vick in September, arguing his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting charge — and the resulting impact on his career — kept him from repaying the loan.
