All things must come to an end.
Nnamdi Asomugha, NFL cornerback, announced on Friday, December 27 that he was retiring from football. He confirmed it in a press conference at the Oakland Raider headquarters.
"After 11 seasons in the NFL, I will be retiring today. I've been blessed and fortunate to have a successful NFL career. Another journey is starting for me right now."
That journey could be the child he's expecting with wife Kerry Washington. The two got married secretly late June in Hailey, Idaho.
Asomugha, 32, was let go from the San Francisco 49ers on November 5 and has been out of work since. He signed a one year contract with the team in April after he was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. The contract was worth $1.35 million that included another $1.65 million in incentives.
The 11-year veteran said that he was retiring because he "felt it was the right time." When a reporter asked how his wife was taking the news, he said, "I've had a lot of support from my family. Everybody's just been great about it."
