Veteran tight end Luke Wilson announced Wednesday that he’s retiring, one day after re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks.

The 31-year-old wrote in a statement about spending several days in the hospital during the offseason with a buildup of fluid around his heart, saying, “That situation has really challenged me as an individual and changed my perspective on a lot of things . . . I have decided that it’s time for me to begin with the next chapter of my life.”

Seattle had brought Wilson back Tuesday for a fourth stint with the team. He was a member of the 2013 team that won the Super Bowl.
