Legend Clay Matthews III Sends NFL into Frenzy by Considering Return to Green Bay Packers After 3 Years Retired – With a “Special $1 Million Special Deal”

Green Bay – December 12, 2025

Legend Clay Matthews III is sending the NFL into a frenzy by suddenly considering a return to the Green Bay Packers three years after officially retiring. Not a loud comeback or a chase for individual accolades, but a “special deal” worth approximately $1 million that is being mentioned as the bridge between the present and a legacy that has never faded at Lambeau Field.

Former Packers, Rams OLB Clay Matthews announces 'playing days are over'

Clay Matthews is the symbol of the Packers defense for an entire decade, forever linked to flowing blonde hair, explosive sacks, and the warrior spirit that defines Green Bay. With the Packers currently searching for more experience and composure for the stretch run, the idea of Matthews returning – even in a limited role – instantly revives memories of the defensive era that once struck fear across the NFL.

At age 39, Clay Matthews III openly states he has no interest in playing officially or carrying weekly physical pressure. Instead, Matthews is only considering a return if the Packers propose a special role where he can participate in weekly practices as a scout-team player and defensive mentor. Matthews’ job would be to simulate opposing pass rushers and linebackers, helping the offense and especially the young linebacker group of Green Bay prepare better for the key games of the season.

And it is precisely the affection for Green Bay that has Packers Nation trembling with excitement. “Green Bay isn’t just where I played football,” Matthews said. “It’s family, it’s identity, it’s the place that shaped who I am. Every time I step into Lambeau, I still feel that energy. If there’s a chance to put on the green and gold again and help this team take one more step forward, my heart will never say no.”

The Packers have not confirmed any official moves yet, but the mere fact that Clay Matthews has left the door open for a return is already enough to make Lambeau boil over. For the fans, this is not simply a potential contract – it is a reconnection with an icon. And in a season full of pressure, sometimes what Green Bay needs most isn’t youth – it’s legacy, grit, and championship belief in the name of Clay Matthews III.
