Former Packers safety Micah Hyde, famously not re-signed by Green Bay, retires from NFL

Former Green Bay Packers safety Micah Hyde told reporter Jay Skurski from The Buffalo News on Monday that he planned to officially retire from the NFL, an unsurprising development for the 34-year-old two-time All-Pro.

Hyde did not see the field this year for the Buffalo Bills, combatting the effects of a serious neck surgery, but he did sign to the Bills' practice squad in December and has been serving in more of an advisory role for younger players. He's been with Buffalo since 2017, a tenure that corresponds with the Bills' rise into an AFC powerhouse, albeit one that has been stopped short of the Super Bowl as they were Sunday by the Kansas City Chiefs.
