Going out on top. Congrats to a LSU great! LINK

"After 14 seasons in the NFL, I have decided to retire so that I can spend more time with my family," said Jones. "I am grateful for all those who have supported me throughout the years. Specifically, I would like to thank Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson, and the entire Eagles organization for allowing me to be a part of their family for the past five seasons. I will truly miss my teammates, coaches, friends, and the best fans in the NFL. Although I am retiring, I will always be an Eagle and will forever have a special place in my heart for the City of Philadelphia. It is a great honor to be a part of the first Super Bowl championship team in Eagles history and there is no better way to finish my career."

Solid career for the second best punter in recent LSU history, Chad Kessler is the best ever.

That is surprising. The other week on AFR he said he wanted to continue playing for a couple more years. Must have been asked to retire

Teams aren't paying for P and K
Probably would have to take a paycut

Saints could possibly free up some money getting rid of Moorstead, maybe with proximity they could get Jones on a nice deal while being close to home if he decided to play again.

With a NFL pension you really are set after your time in the league.
