What the HELL guys?? I don’t know if this was an open secret or not, but this is the first I’ve heard of Devin McCourty potentially thinking about retirement.

Umm @McCourtyTwins? If NFL Network employees could please stop asking Patriots players if they’re going to retire that would be grrreat. #SBOpeningNight #SuperBowl #NFL #Patriots #Rams pic.twitter.com/qifpjSAhK0

He’s only 31 so this came as a completely jaw dropping moment for me in my living room. This all came about 10 minutes after Julian Edelman broke Deion Sanders brain so I think he felt the need to redeem himself with a Woj bomb of sorts.

I think Julian Edelman just broke Deion Sanders’ brain. @Edelman11 @DeionSanders #SBOpeningNight #SuperBowl #NFL #Patriots #Rams pic.twitter.com/uzVKlnzxQl

McCourty did suffer a concussion towards the end of this season though, the first that I can recall him ever having, so that may have changed things for him. Well shit. We’ll update you guys if we hear anything else.
