Neither did I.

But, wish him well. I could definitely see him doing some commentary or sports talk show somewhere.

Its been on my radar all offseason that multiple aging Saints vets could potentially retire. Obviously Ram already did, and surprisingly Carr did. The order of probability was something like Ram, Hill, Jordan, Mathieu, Davis, and then some longshots like Olave and Kamara. Realistically any older or injured player who takes a pay cut or has declined a lot might be a candidate to retire. Doing so after June 1 helps our cap.

WOW. I guess first day back and maybe too many Muffaletta's in the offseason??

TM had a great NFL career. Just turned 33. Has lost a step.

This wasn’t “sudden”. He probably advised the team months ago.

New HC, new direction. Embrace the rebuild. Youth movement.

Demario & Cam will likely say bye bye in 2026.

Enjoy your retirement Honey Badger.

Hopefully he sticks around in some capacity to coach up the young players.

He see's the field in a special way, that insight could be invaluable for other players progression.

Happy Retirement Tyrann.

Yeah we need to line up some replacements for both of those guys.

Hopefully someone like Stutsman can have a strong rookie year, as I don't trust Pete Werner one bit.

But why day 1 of training camp?
