Gerald McCoy, six-time Pro Bowl selection with Bucs, retires

Veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who spent nine seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced Friday that he's retiring from the NFL.

McCoy made the announcement on social media with a video that included an image of him hanging up his cleats with a simple "Thank you" message.

The Bucs soon afterward congratulated McCoy, 35, on his retirement, calling him "a Buccaneer great."
