Connor Barwin announces his retirement

The Chiefs are now 4-2 after losing their second in a row, but Mike Florio and Chris Simms are confident they will get back on track once they are fully healthy.

Connor Barwin talked to teams about jobs this offseason, but the veteran edge player never wound up signing a contract with a team ahead of the 2019 season.

He won’t be signing with anyone during the season, either. Barwin announced his retirement in a post to social media on Monday night.

“Tomorrow I turn 33 and after a decade of playing the greatest sport there is, I’m excited to say I’m moving on to the next chapter of my life,” Barwin wrote.

Barwin was a 2009 second-round pick by the Texans. He spent four years in Houston and four years with the Eagles before spending a year with the Rams. He spent last season with the Giants to wrap up his career.

Barwin had 366 tackles, 56.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and an interception.
