This news isn’t surprising, especially in the wake of his recent contract restructure, but it’s still bittersweet to hear Brandon Brooks has officially announced his NFL retirement.
The nine-year veteran worked tirelessly to come back from injuries three seasons in a row, but unfortunately ended up missing the entire 2020 season and was once again sidelined in 2021 early on in Week 2. Now, the three-time Pro Bowl guard will call it a career.
Brooks signed with the Eagles back in 2016 on a five-year, $40 million deal and was worth every penny.
