TE Josh Hill retires from football less than 2 months after signing with Detroit Lions

METAIRIE, La. -- Tight end Josh Hill officially announced his retirement Thursday, less than two months after joining the Detroit Lions as a free agent.

The Lions signed veteran tight end Darren Fells as a replacement.

Hill, who turns 31 later this month, spent his first eight years with the New Orleans Saints before being released in a wave of salary-cap cuts. He initially planned to follow his former position coach, Dan Campbell, to Detroit before the apparent change of heart.

Hill's one-year deal with the Lions was scheduled to pay him $1.2 million.

"This game has blessed my family and I with more than we could have ever imagined," Hill wrote in an Instagram post. "Everything this game has given and taught me makes this decision extremely difficult, but I am looking forward to all of the years I have with my young family, and being able to chase after different dreams."

Too bad. I wonder if he might change his mind for a team NOT Detroit...

Hill was underrated for his athleticism which was underutilized because of the TE1 (Jimmy Graham) ahead of him; Payton failed to expand his opportunities as he blocked so well...

But Trautman is a better athlete who just came from an FCS school, Dayton (OH) Flyers, that doesn't have the resources that an FBS school like Iowa, Miami (FL), or Penn St has...

Nah, better hands. I know we didn't throw him a lot of balls but I also don't remember him dropping much that came his way. Go back and look at Kamara's early highlight reel you could easily say it's also Hill's highlight as you see him constantly steamrolling people out of AK's way. If he's in shape I'd take him back in a heartbeat he's only 32.
