Parker retires before he ever took a snap for Philadelphia.
Wide receiver DeVante Parker agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, but he will not be playing for Philly in 2024. Instead, Parker has decided to retire from football at the age of 31, the nine-year NFL veteran told ESPN's Adam Schefter Monday night.
Parker said the time had come for him to spend more time with his family, and that he will take things slowly moving forward. "I want to see my kids, spend quality time with them," Parker said, via ESPN.
