Cardinals tight end John Carlson retires from football
Today the Arizona Cardinals lost another tight end, this time to retirement. John Carlson the former Notre Dame tight end called it a career at the age of 30.
“After much thought and consideration, my wife Danielle and I know that this is best decision for us,” Carlson said in a statement released by the team. “I was blessed to play seven seasons in the NFL for three tremendous organizations – the Cardinals, Vikings and Seahawks. I will always treasure the experiences and relationships made during that time but I’m also very excited about the next phase of my life and what’s ahead.”
