Former Ravens, Broncos DE Derek Wolfe retires

Derek Wolfe will happily spend his time chasing around his 3-year-old daughter instead of NFL quarterbacks.

The 32-year-old defensive tackle retired Friday, saying a hip injury that required a second operation last month made it too hard to spend an 11th year in the league.

Wolfe, who was released by Baltimore in June with an injury settlement, signed a one-day deal with the Broncos so he could retire in Denver, where he spent eight seasons and won a Super Bowl after being picked in the second round of the draft out of Cincinnati in 2012.
