Clint Boling, the Bengals’ most experienced and versatile offensive lineman with the majority of his 109 starts at left guard, announced his retirement Monday at age 30 after being shelved all spring dealing with a blood clot.
After meeting with variety of specialists following the discovery of the clot in January, Boling felt like he made the tough, but only decision he could for his wife and two daughters ages three and one.
"There’s no doubt in my mind if I ‘m 22, 23 years old with no wife, no kids and it’s just me playing football, I’m making a different decision," he said.
