It is good news hearing that tight end Dennis Pitta won’t return this season. I hope he takes it one step further and decides to retire permanently.
I’ve always liked Pitta, and not just for what he does on the field. He seems to be a nice person off of it, too. He has a good sense of humor and a quiet demeanor, which includes a pleasant charm and respect for others. You don’t forget those qualities in a person.
But I also can’t forget what happened to Pitta in Week 3 of 2014 in Cleveland, when he fractured and dislocated his hip for a second time.
