Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 34 on Saturday after 11 seasons in the league.
He revealed his decision via social media:
Chris LongCheers. Been a hell of a journey. Eleven years and I can honestly say I put my soul into every minute of it. Highs and lows. I’ve seen them both and I appreciate the perspective. Gratitude and love to those who lifted me up. https://t.co/Ap8zi73Ifl
Long spent two seasons with the Eagles after a one-year run with the New England Patriots.
