New England Patriots offensive lineman James Ferentz announced his retirement on Instagram Monday afternoon, which concludes an eight-year NFL career that featured two Super Bowl championships.
Ferentz originally entered the NFL in 2014 as an undrafted free agent. After starting his career with the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos, he then joined the Patriots practice squad in 2017.
It was there in Foxboro that he’s spent the last seven years of his career on-and-off New England’s practice squad and active roster. He appeared in a combined 40 regular season and playoff games for the Patriots, including being apart of New England’s 2018 Super Bowl squad.
