JC Tretter officially announces his retirement while “doubling down as NFLPA President.”
Was told all along returning for a 9th season was a longshot – if he did, only wanted to play for a contending team under the ideal situation.
Great career for the 4th-rd pick from Cornell https://t.co/hEQBBjlXud

One of the best to put on a Cornell uniform is stepping away from the game. https://t.co/aCVCYj33I1
