Baltimore Ravens impending free agent center Matt Birk is undecided about his future.
He previously said the outcome of the Super Bowl would not affect his decision. He has played 15 years in the league.
"It won’t matter either way," insisted Birk, a six-time Pro Bowler. "Nobody is entitled to or deserves a Super Bowl and certainly if anybody does, it certainly isn’t me. ... Whether we win or lose, I don’t think it will affect me."
He has considered retirement the past two offseasons. And he will be 37-years-old in July, but has two years left on his contract.
"I haven't decided," Birk simply said after the Super Bowl victory on Sunday night.
He is due to make $2.75 million during the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He made $925,000 this past season.
Should he retire, the Ravens already have his replacement. The team would call on 2012 fourth-round pick Gino Gradkowski to replace Birk.
