Jared Allen announces retirement after 12 seasons


He just called it quits after 12 seasons.

My fellow Afrikans Marshawn and Mayo, now Jared.
Think this will become a trend? Getting money and retiring a little early not risking life and limb.

Doesn't want to be in a diaper in 10 years, I can respect that

This is going to become a trend now that the effects of a long career are coming to light...No one wants to end up like Earl Campbell or a drooling maniac with CTE

He played 12 years and he isn't that good anymore. Why is this surprising?

Most dudes try to hold on as long as they can to squeeze every dollar they can...I dont see that happening now

Jared Allen is finished and would struggle to make a roster right now

It's not similar to younger guys leaving with good seasons left in them

Yeah this isn't some guy at or even near the top of his game walking away and making us all say . That said, I do think we will see fewer and fewer guys (outside of QBs) playing "until they rip the jersey off" going forward.

You nikkas are weird, Allen played 12 years, just had a broken foot, and isn't that good anymore. Mayo has ended up on IR 3 straight seasons and had already lost his spot in the Pats linebacker rotation, and when he did get to play again due to injuries he was ineffective. Marshawn could have played more but there really isn't anything suspect about the other 2, the media got you guys fishing to make these retirements fit a narrative.

Didnt really pay attention to him this season...figured he could still ride the bench

What about Marshawn? I did mention him too.

 

[NYC Rebel]

He played 12 years. This fake deep shyt isn't about concussions.

 

[Higher Tech]

You can run the no concussion narrative when you young player retires, not an old dude with nothing left. He had a pretty good career tho

Not weird brother, just asking questions for dialogue. Isn't that what we do up here? The media doesn't have me fishing for anything. Like someone said earlier, players will try to get all they can before being left high and dry.
