Offensive lineman Bryan Stork officially announced his retirement from the National Football League on Tuesday after sitting out the 2016 season.

Stork confirmed his decision on social media, stating it's not a true retirement since he's just 26, but concluding his time playing the game of football is over:

Stork was set to get traded from the New England Patriots to the Washington Redskins during the 2016 preseason after he'd lost his grip on a starting job with the Pats due David Andrews' emergence. He failed his physical, however, and was released after the traded was voided.
