Joe Thomas has retired from football and is likely to enter broadcasting.

The former Cleveland Browns tackle is taking his time deciding between television offers.

"I've had some offers from FOX [and] some other networks for doing it this fall, but I think right now I just want to take time away, step back, not overcommit myself this fall," Thomas said.

"It'll be my first year away from football in a long time, so I'd rather just take little bites at the media/broadcasting apple and then see where I am at this point next year and see if it's something I want to do."
