Four months after signing with the Miami Dolphins, Pro Bowl pass rusher Shaquil Barrett has called it a career, announcing via social media Saturday that he’s retiring from the NFL at 31 after nine seasons.
“It’s time for me to hang it up. It’s been a great ride and I appreciate everything that came with it over the years,” Barrett wrote on Instagram. “I’m ready to shift my full focus to my wife and kids … [I know] to some it’ll be a surprise, but I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and the decision has never been more clear [than] it is now.”
