Green, the 32-year-old who played eight seasons with the Patriots [team stats], is considering retirement while his colleagues wait out the lockout. With the off-the-field options the defensive end has created for himself, a career after football may be just as enticing as a career in football. "I'm kind of in between," Green told the Herald while at Blush Wine Bar for his charity wine tasting. "I'm still thinking about hanging it up. I am staying in shape, but right now I've been very busy.

He spent parts of 2010 in Denver and Houston, though neither was an extended stay.
