Declan Bonner is expecting some of Donegal's greatest servants to call it a day after this year's championship.
And despite their disappointing finish to the Allianz League, which culminated in a heavy semi-final defeat to Dublin last Sunday, he feels there may be one last kick left in them.
"I do think that whatever happens over the summer, you are probably looking at the final season for a lot of Donegal's players," the 1992 All-Ireland winning forward writes in this week's Donegal News.
"The experienced men in the dressing room owe us absolutely nothing. They have been incredible servants in the green and gold, and many of them have put their lives on hold for their county.
"Rory [Gallagher] needs his team to lift things now over the next two weeks, and when he looks around at his squad, he will know that he has experienced players in abundance, and he needs them to provide leadership.
"The end may be close, but they will be determined to go out with a bang."
