Ex-Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin Appears to Announce NFL Retirement on Twitter

Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin appeared to announce his retirement Sunday after eight seasons in the NFL:

ESPN.com's Adam Schefter first reported that retirement was on the table for the 30-year-old wideout back on April 27. According to Schefter, Baldwin's ability to play football moving forward was a concern due to a "cumulative effect of multiple injuries."

Baldwin went under the knife three times within the first two-plus months of this offseason. He underwent an operation on both his shoulder and knee following the 2018 season, and he then underwent sports hernia surgery in April.
