Aaron Schobel is still considering his football future, and isn't worried about collecting a

bonus he's due to receive from the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills' veteran defensive end said Tuesday he has not decided if he will play football

this season.

"I'm not ready to say if I'm going to retire," Schobel said.

The Bills were due to pay him a $2 million roster bonus Wednesday, which is a guaranteed part

of his contract. However, he needs to pass a physical to get it, because he failed a team

physical due to an elbow injury.

"I had elbow surgery three weeks ago — it was a scope," Schobel said, referring to an

arthroscopic procedure. "If I decide to play I'll come up and take the physical. ... I want to

play in Buffalo if I'm going to play."

Schobel, 32, has played nine seasons with the Bills and made two Pro Bowls. He revealed

last season he had been considering the possibility of retirement since last summer. Schobel

had a team-high 10 sacks in 2009.
