After seven seasons in the NFL, tight end Matt LaCosse announced his decision to retire on Tuesday.
An undrafted free agent out of the University of Illinois in 2015, LaCosse went on to play for four teams.
In 2019, LaCosse signed a two-year contract with the Patriots and earned the starting role after Rob Gronkowski announced his first retirement. That season LaCosse recorded 13 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. His lone touchdown came in the division-clinching win over the Buffalo Bills that December, Tom Brady’s last win as a Patriot.
