Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth announced his retirement Tuesday.
"My chapter may have closed on the field, but my story is unfinished. Can't wait for the next one," Whitworth wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey!"
Whitworth, 39, spent 16 seasons in the NFL and was a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro selection in stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and Rams.
But his retirement doesn't come as a major surprise. In fact, he continued playing longer than expected. After the Rams lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII, Whitworth said he would "let the offseason play out and kinda see what's best for the franchise, what's best for me, and we'll kind of see what happens," per ESPN.
