GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Clay Matthews always thought he would play his entire career with the Green Bay Packers. Even when he left after 10 years to play one season with the Los Angeles Rams, he thought there was a chance he would still finish his career where it started.
But Matthews, the Packers' all-time sack leader, says he's now at peace with the entirety of his career.
Matthews said after the 2018 season the Packers told him he would still be in their plans, even though his production had waned. However, once they signed pass rushers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith in free agency, he knew it was over.
