Walter Thurmond decides to retire after six NFL seasons

Golfhack1396

At this time of year, any NFL free agent with a sufficient resume who wants another job can usually find one.

But another player has chosen to not pursue one.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, veteran defensive back Walter Thurmond has chosen to retire.

The 28-year-old Thurmond spent six years in the league with the Eagles, Giants, and Seahawks. All signs this offseason were that he was leaning toward retirement, despite chances to continue his career.

Thurmond was converted to safety last season, after spending his first five years as a cornerback.
