Report: Former Falcons G, Rams Free Agent Target, Justin Blalock Retiring

Blalock was a popular pre-draft Rams free agency candidate. Now, he's reportedly hanging them up.

With ex-#Eagles G Evan Mathis now a free agent, worth noting fellow veteran guard Justin Blalock is retiring, I’m told. Started 125 games

It's a bit of a surprise if only for the timing. Three months ago, Justin Blalock was a legitimate target for the St. Louis Rams in free agency. Fast-forward 90ish days, and he's calling it quits.

The former Texas Longhorn and 2007 NFL Draft second-rounder played exclusively for the Falcons throughout his eight-year career.
