New England Patriots star receiver Julian Edelman announced his retirement Monday in a video on social media.

The 34-year-old, who helped the Pats win three championships and was MVP of Super Bowl 53, only played six games last season because of a chronic knee injury, and said in the video, “I’ve always said, ‘I’ll go until the wheels come off.’ And they finally have fallen off.”

Edelman, who spent his entire 12-year career with the Patriots, is second in NFL history with 118 postseason receptions, behind Jerry Rice's 151.

 

Britt Reid Charged

Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, son of head coach Andy Reid, has been charged in Missouri with felony driving while intoxicated for a February crash that left a five-year-old girl critically injured.

Reid reportedly hit two cars on the side of a highway entrance ramp while driving more than 83 miles per hour. Reid was the Chiefs’ outside linebackers coach at the time of the crash.

He was initially put on leave, but is no longer with the team after his contract wasn't renewed.
