Veteran tight end Jacob Tamme announced his retirement Thursday at the age of 32 after nine NFL seasons.
He shared the announcement on his Twitter page with a lengthy thank you letter:
Tamme spent the previous two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, but he played in only eight games during the 2016 campaign, as shoulder surgery landed him on injured reserve.
Prior to being placed on IR, Tamme had 22 receptions for 210 yards and three touchdowns as part of the NFL's No. 1 offense led by quarterback Matt Ryan.
