Broncos Rumors: John Moffitt Unretiring After Two Years

Denver Broncos offensive guard John Moffitt drew national attention by retiring from the NFL two years ago during the season with $1 million left on his contract, but now he's attempting a comeback, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.

Moffitt was arrested on battery and drug possession charges last year at a Chicago nightclub after he was found with cocaine, ecstasy pills, and marijuana. Glazer said on Twitter that Moffitt went to rehab to and "beat his demons."

The Broncos still own Moffitt's rights and will release him, Glazer reported.

"I offered a service, and I no longer wanted to offer the service and I no longer request money for it," he told ESPN The Magazine shortly after his retirement. "You can change a passion. You can change a dream. I had the NFL dream, and it was no longer what I envisioned. I don't expect people to understand."
