Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell became the latest NFL player to announce an early retirement this week.

The 24-year-old announced his decision in a lengthy post on social media, saying that an "off-field injury" ultimately forced him into retirement. Bell added that continuing to play in the NFL would "literally risk life and limb."


quote:

Bell thanked the organization in his statement. He also thanked attorney Brad Sohn, a class-action and injury lawyer, for "making sure this never happens to anyone else again." Sohn replied on X, saying, "One thing for sure. This will NOT happen again. Bet."

Bell did not reveal the nature of his injury.

I'm guessing the doctor messed something up.

He's probably talking about a specific doc who won't be given the opportunity to frick somebody else up.

Doesn’t sound like it was the team’s preferred doctor.

That’s interesting.
