All-time Green Bay Packers sacks leader Clay Matthews confirmed to multiple reporters during a promotional tour Tuesday that he has unofficially retired from the NFL.
All that's left is for the Packers to bring him back for an official ceremony.
"My playing days are over," Matthews, 36, said Tuesday in an interview with Packers Wire.
The linebacker spent 2009-2018 with Green Bay but was released during the offseason in 2019. He played the 2019 season with the Los Angeles Rams but hasn't been in the league since.
"Ultimately it is what it is," Matthews told ESPN.
