Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I wonder if it's due to injuries or just fed up with the organization and pulling a Lynch. CHARLOTTE – Linebacker Luke Kuechly, arguably the best linebacker in the NFL since he was a first-round pick in 2012, is retiring. "I think now is the right chance for me to move on," Kuechly said. "It makes me sad because I love playing this game, I've played it since I was a kid. It's my favorite thing in the world to do. The memories I have from this place and this organization and being on the field with these guys – they'll never go away. "In my heart I know it's the right thing to do… There's only one way to play this game since I was a little kid – play fast, play physical and play strong. And at this point I don't know if I am able to do that anymore." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just listened to his retirement speech and it almost sounds possibly health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Probably a health thing. He was a beast and surely made enough money to stop risking himself. Earl Thomas was contemplating retirement at a similar time in his career so I guess it could be a phase for quite a bit of rich guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Turns out it's all about concussions https://sports.yahoo.com/brilliant-luke-kuechly-gave-us-175123326.html Definitely the right move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 21 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Yeah as ten concussions. Still game is not safe. Goodell does not seem to be doing much. Best of luck to Luke. Wonder what he will now do next?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 When he was carted off the field that one time with a concussion, he had the look of a man ready to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
