Cam explained on the podcast that, although he isn't officially retired, that doesn't mean he plans to come back to the game.

"At this particular point in time, the question was, 'oh, we don't know if Cam's retired yet,'" he said. "New flash — I'm never going to retire. I know I've played my last piece of football. It don't matter to me to officially retire. I'm in a happy place."
