Two-time Pro Bowler T.J. Lang announced his retirement on Friday.
In a social media post, the offensive lineman wrote: "For the past 3,624 days I have woken up with one goal in mind-How can I be a better pro football player than I was yesterday? Well, those days are over now. The only thing I ask myself today is how can I be a better husband, father, son, brother, friend."
Lang, 31, was released by the Detroit Lions on March 8 with one year left on his contract -- ending a question that had lingered throughout the offseason.
