Did Clark Retire?

[Dtman513]

On the Facebook page for the Colts, there was a picture of a Dallas Clark banner that said "Thank You Dallas!"

I knew he was let go, but did he retire?

[newb767]

Not sure, but your right, theres a banner up on LOS that says that, just like the one they had for Peyton. His is still covered up, I can see it now

[southwest1]

Where has Dallas Clark gone? WITSEC Protection? Where he lands, I wish him well. Prior to his wrist injury, Clark was well on his way to a Hall Of Fame NFL career. Good luck Clark in your next career!!!

[Captain Americolt]

clark numbers are no where near hall of fame worthy. nor were they getting near it. Still wish him the best.

[Coltsfanman1953]

I thought you meant Dick Clark. No sadly he is not alive.

[GoColts8818]

I don't think so at least not offically but an NFL expert I've heard asked about Clark keeps saying he is done.

[CCH]

I'm guessing Clark is done unless Tamme or another Denver TE gets injured and he's available, but no sadly he has not done enough to get in the Hall of Fame.

[B-B]

He's been my favorite player in the whole league, Thanks Dallas for all the years! You alone made my favorite position tight end!

[ruksak]

You alone made my favorite position tight end!

I like tight ends too.

[hawkeyes]

Favorite Hawkeye and one of my favorite Colts as well ... if he still wants to play I hope he ends up some where ... if he wants to be done, I wish him the best.

[Peytonparker]

Injuries really derailed what could have been a hall of fame career. Probably done at this point just a matter of signing the papers and making his retirement official

[Malakai432]

Bummer, was fun watching him and Manning all those years. Wish him the best of luck in his ventures.

[Malakai432]

I like tight ends too.

True story about Dallas Clark as told to me by one of the interns last summer

Last day of training camp, all interns gathered out on the practice field for a group photo

While they were in position for the shot, they see fans start to yell and point.

It turns out, Dallas Clark had seen the photo forming, ran back on the field, and photo bombed the shot

Photo looks as though he was posing with them!

I never met him, but I've heard nice stories from people who have.

A very nice man! I hope he does more with his movie career!

Why you dirty Ole Man.

[JCPatriot]

It is looking like Dallas may end up being like Marvin in that he doesn't ever officially retire, he just never gets picked up by another team and it eventually just becomes generally accepted that he is retired.

[JCPatriot]

Why you dirty Ole Man.

Ahhhh.......tight end jokes. The lowest brow of football humor.

[B-B]

I like tight ends too.

[amff]

I would like to see us draft a recieving tight end, but maybe also bring him back at vet minimum. I think he still has it in him, just needs someone who can throw to him.

[Andy]

It says "Thank You Dallas" because he's not with the Colts anymore...

I know he used to donate his home game tickets to the orginization Wish-4-Heroes, which is an orginization that grants minor wishes to service men and women. I was lucky enough to get 2 of the tickets for the 2nd Houston game in 2010.

Awesome guy. Potential Colts Ring of Honor player.

No where near HOF. Not even close.

[Peytonparker]

Awesome guy. Potential Colts Ring of Honor player.

How can you say not even close. If he would have kept putting up numbers like he was pre injuries of course he could have been a HOF

[MIColtsFan]

2007 - 58 catches, 616 yards, 11 TD's

2008 - broke franchise record for yards in a season (TE) - 848

2009 - 100 catches, 1,106 yards, 10 TD's

2010 - broken wrist ends season early, as of Oct - 37 catches, 347 yards, 2 TD's

2011 - not a fair season for any offensive Colt

Clark was great, fantastic personality, team player and I would hope he would not retire without fanfare and love from fans and the Colts org!

my grandparents friend lived across from him (until he sold his house to tamme) and they said he would always invite them over for dinner then my grandparents friends moved to Florida (of course) before they could meet tamme

[lollygagger8]

So Tamme is the new Clark over in Denver then.

I always loved Clark.....I'm guessing he's retiring as well. Thanks Dallas!

[ruksak]

Why you dirty Ole Man.

They like me when I'm clean but they love me when I'm dirty

Bahahaha.

Wow. Some people's HOF standards are abysmal.

[Peytonparker]

Dallas Clark career stats: 427 Receptions 4,887 yards 46 TD's 11.4 YPC

John Mackey career stats: 331 receptions 5,236 yards 38 TD's 15.8 YPC

Bahahaha.

Wow. Some people's HOF standards are abysmal.

I agree Trav. Like has been said a million times here, fans always over rate the players they root for. Clark was a good player but IMO, not even in a HOF conversation. If he was even remotely close to a HOFer and only at the age of 32, he would be getting some kind of attention from other teams regardless of his injuries. Teams will take a chance on players that are that good even if they had a bad yr. or coming off an injury. I mean C'mon, it was just a broken wrist, not a surgically repaired knee and yet, nobody wants him.

[Susie Q]

You must be real dirty then because we all love you ruksak. :luv:

Mackey 63-72......and he still had more yards and better YPC.....try again.......

Nice

Yeah but that didnt happen, so as it sits now he isnt HOF worthy and frankly I dont think it would be close either. Especially the number of WRs on backlog waiting to get in.

[JoKeR]

I like tight ends too.

You got a point, there much better than wide receivers.

[Gregore]

I'm sad to see Dallas go. One of my favorite Colts. Gald to see them get rid of Addai though. While he could pass block and catch out of the back field really well, he was terrible at running the ball. Brown needs to step up as well. Maybe the Colts can go after a home run RB as well as some more D in next year's draft.

[Quantum88]

It has been reported that Dallas visited the Chiefs. The report indicated that Dallas had permanent damage from the wrist injury that prevents him from closing his hand completely.

[oldunclemark]

That explains a lot...

I think the next time we see him will be on the NFL Network..

[king general 317]

That's really sad to hear. Dallas was a really tough player. Some of the hits he took and kept rolling with over the years are ridiculous and he always seemed to be a really nice guy sad to see him go out like that...... Was always my favorite person to throw to in madden lol.

[vinatierifan4]

I thought he just got interviewed by chiefs.
