Jason Hanson considers retiring

Jason Hanson has said that he is not sure whether he will continue to play in the NFL next season.

At 42, the Detroit Lions kicker is the oldest player in the league.

Hanson told the Detroit Free Press: "I know I can [continue]. I haven't really processed all that.

"Just get some of the nagging little kicker owies, toenail hurts, that kind of thing, let that calm down and then just really evaluate because I know I don't want to play anymore unless I know I want to play and feel like I'm going to show up for offseason and run and do all the stuff."

Hanson was drafted by the Lions in 1992, and holds the record for most field goals from over 50 yards.
