Veteran wide receiver Danny Amendola says he is retiring after 13 NFL seasons.
Amendola played for five teams, including the New England Patriots, where he won two Super Bowl titles in 2014 and 2016.
The 36-year-old had 24 catches for 248 yards and three touchdowns last seasons with the Houston Texans.
“Love Danny, he was a very good player for us – very smart, tough, dependable, great hands, concentration,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said about Amendola. “Glad we had him here, and he certainly was a big contributor for us. We’ve been very fortunate to have some good players at that (inside receiver) position (and) Danny ranks high in that group.”
