Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead has decided to retire from football at the age of 33.
Armstead calls it a day after 12 seasons in the NFL in Miami and Louisiana with the New Orleans Saints.
Speaking earlier in the week, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel hinted that Armstead might retire but insisted he has the skills to keep going.
‘We have had an unbelievable amount of conversations about his body and how he feels,’ McDaniel said.
‘I think, tied into that, where he’s at relative to other years and how we can realistically forecast that, I think that’s going to really shape the answer to that question (of retiring).
‘It hasn’t ever been about Terron’s play, right? It’s been about how he’s been available, and he’s been straining to be more available for us than a counterpart would. He’s played through a lot of stuff.’
Armstead played 15 games for the Dolphins last season but Miami failed to make the playoffs.
