Birk isn't planning on making any final decisions on retirement for at least a couple of weeks, but his postgame comments from Super Bowl XLVII strongly suggest the 37-year-old will return for another season.

Asked by Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole if he's ready to hang up the spikes, Birk quipped, "You can milk this Super Bowl thing for a couple of years. I have six kids to put through college."

Although the Ravens drafted Birk's successor, Gino Gradkowski, in the fourth round last year, head coach John Harbaugh doesn't sound ready for a changing of the guard.
