TAMPA, Fla. -- In a shocking move, Buccaneers Pro Bowl left guard Ali Marpet is retiring, he announced on Instagram.

Marpet is just 28 years old and finished off his first Pro Bowl season. He is considered arguably one of the top, if not the top, Buccaneers offensive linemen.

A source told ESPN that Marpet made the decision due to concerns for his overall health.

Update: #Dolphins CB Byron Jones appears to retire from the NFL at age 30.

The former #Cowboys 1st round pick says he can no longer "run or jump" because of injuries sustained playing in the NFL.

Something is definitely fishy because he was only supposed to be out four weeks, then missed the whole season, and the team was pretty tight-lipped about it. Feels like his rehab was botched

He'll probably sue and hopefully win

sony michel, age 28, after five nfl seasons

sounds like he wanted to keep playing but his body couldn’t do it. RBs are so fucked

― mookieproof, Sunday, 30 July 2023 17:14 (three years ago)

His career earnings sit at $11.5MM, almost all of which came from his rookie contract – a figure helped greatly by his status as a Day 1 selection.

It’s sad. He was a Chubb.
