Shields on the other hand hasn't had any health issues that I've heard about. I would seriously doubt he'd call it quits this close to the season just cuz Big Willie's gone.

He's had bad back problems for the last several years. His body is breaking down and that is a main reason why he too was considering retiring. It was Roaf who talked him out of it.

I seriously doubt that this is breaking news to Shields. Roaf made this decision weeks ago, I bet he and Shields talked at some point.

So if you assume Shields already knew and he's in camp anyway, he's not going anywhere for '06.
