Good for him if he's all set up for life after.

I can't help but wonder if he pulls a Favre and goes to another team in the next year or so though

Don't blame him one bit. Made a mountain of money before 30. Why not?

Man what a life to be able to retire at 30 and live an extremely comfortable life (if he doesn't royally screw up). Good for that guy.

NFL careers will continue to get shorter... it's not worth it now to play until you're battered and broken...

and especially for guys who individually have nothing left to prove

huh, he had his 3rd highest reception total of his career in a single season in 2015 (88).

he did have that huge game against the Eagles on Thanksgiving. He scored 3 TD's in that game.

had 10 catches for 137 yards and a TD in the finale vs. the Bears.

It doesn't even seem that long ago when he was at GaTech.

Wow!

To think, Terrell Owens was training to make a return at the age of 41-42 and Calvin Johnson is retiring at 30.

He's definitely lost a step and had his share of injuries. Other things are more important. Not a knock on him at all, but it just makes me really appreciate some of the all time great who did it for so many years.

Good for him. Go enjoy your money and family. I would do the same if I was blessed like him.

So fricking stupid. Could easily go down as a top 5 WR if he just played a couple more years. Not like his body is beat up
