Goodluck in retirement.

Lmao, what a choad.

 

[Washington]

Our whole defense retired at halftime last Sunday.

 

[Aquineas]

Well it's a good thing he retired, because he'd never be able to play again anyway. To quit on his team like that? No one would want him in their locker room. Not even the dude who gave up 5 touchdowns in one game to Jerry Rice quit his team.

 

[Warden of the Northeast]

Wow, the Bills must be really bad.

[sevvy]

That is great.

 

[Andrewroll]

That's fucked up.

"This isn't how I pictured retiring from the NFL.

But in my 10th NFL season, I have been doing what my body has been programmed to do: Get ready to play on game day. I've endured multiple surgeries and played through many different injuries throughout my career and, over the last few weeks, this was the latest physical challenge.

But today on the field, reality hit me fast and hard: I shouldn't be out there anymore.

I meant no disrespect to my teammates and coaches. But I hold myself to a standard. Mentally, I always expect myself to play at a high level. But physically, I know today that isn't possible, and I had an honest moment with myself. While I was on the field, I just didn't feel right, and I told the coaches, 'I'm not feeling like myself.'

I also wondered: Do I want to keep sacrificing?

And truthfully, I do not because the season is long, and it's more important for me and my family to walk away healthy than to willfully embrace the warrior mentality and limp away too late.

This was an overwhelming decision, but I'm at peace with myself and my family. I choose to be grateful to God for allowing me to play the game that I have loved as a boy until I turned 30 years old. I choose to be grateful to God for being a part of the NFL and making lifelong friends over the last decade. There were roadblocks and pitfalls along the way, but I am grateful to God for all of it because he doesn't promise any of us an easy journey.

Lastly, I am grateful to God for what he has in store for me ahead, in this next chapter of my life."

Idk why he couldn't wait until after the game haha

 

[PrideisBears]

Not even mad at him.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Only a matter of time before Mack quits due to poor QB play.

 

[Doubledown]

We all can fire our bosses, does waiting an hour having a stupid presser, change the fact he wanted to retire?

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Signs with the Patriots in 3 weeks.

That's a pretty fucked up thing to do to your teammates. No excuse, he could have waited until after the game, even if he wasn't able to play. At least finish on the sideline. Damn

Can we just call what Vontae Davis did a “Cutty”. The game just ain’t in him no more.

GTFO with that shit. The game doesn't care about them either. I love listening to you 400 lb couch potatoes talk about players like they don't sacrifice anything, while your fat ass won't even walk down the block to buy some milk.
