Aqib Talib retired from the NFL after 13 seasons, he announced via social media.
Talib, 34, said in a message posted to Twitter that he turned down a chance to continue his career with the New England Patriots and instead will start a podcast, Call to the Booth.
Talib, a first-round pick in 2008 out of Kansas by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was dealt to the Patriots in 2012, later won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos and played for the Los Angeles Rams. He ended last season on injured reserve and never reported to the Miami Dolphins, who traded for Talib and a fifth-round pick from the Rams in 2019.
