Jets G Alex Lewis retires from football (Report)

The time has come for Alex Lewis to conclude his football playing days.

Per ESPN’s Rich Cimini, the Jets interior offensive lineman will retire after the team placed him on the Reserve/Left Squad list last week. This placement would’ve prevented Lewis from playing in the NFL in 2021, period.

G Alex Lewis has decided to retire, per source. Was eliminated from playing for any team in 2021 last week when #Jets placed him on reserve/left squad list. In theory, could try comeback in ‘22, but it remains to be seen whether he has any desire to play again, source said.
