• Corey Linsley: Hanging up cleats

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2024

  The Chargers released Linsley on Wednesday, and he plans to retire from the NFL with a non-emergent heart issue, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. The decision comes as no surprise, as Linsley said in January that he was "99 percent" sure that he would end his career after missing the final 14 games of the Chargers' 2023 campaign with the heart issue. The 32-year-old was selected in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Packers and played seven seasons in Green Bay before signing with the Chargers in 2021. Across Linsley's 10-year NFL career, he started all 132 games in which he appeared and earned All-Pro honors in both 2020 and 2021.
