Bucs S Barber vague on retirement possibility
Ronde Barber - DB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jan. 4, 2013 - 3:50 PM ET

Bucs FS Ronde Barber was vague when asked about the possibility of retirement after Sunday's Week 17 win over the Falcons.

"If it is (the last game), it is," Barber said Sunday. "I've always been all right with that. I've never been shy of saying I'm proud of what I put on the field, and today was no different." The soon-to-be 38-year-old has been playing on one-year deals in recent years. Barber is set to be an unrestricted free agent, but he'll likely be a Buc or ride off into the sunset. He's still playing at a high level, recording 91 tackles and four interceptions while grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 11 safety in the league.
