Chrebet officially announced his retirement from pro football on Friday, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.
ANALYSIS
Chrebet spent 11 seasons with the New York Jets and compiled 580 catches, 7,365 yards and 41 touchdowns in a span of 152 games. His reception total only trails Don Maynard's 627 catches for most in team history. The 32-year-old wideout has suffered a series of concussions over his career and played in only eight games last season after suffering yet another one. His production has slipped over the past few years so the retirement of the former Hofstra Pride player should not affect the potency, or lack thereof, of the Jets' passing attack.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
2003
Chrebet will return for his 11th season with an opportunity to contribute in new offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger's offense. While a return to his 1998 numbers (75 catches and 1083 yards receiving) are extremely doubtful, he might improve upon last year's numbers.
Chrebet enters the 2004 season penciled in as the Jets' #3 receiver. If healthy, he is a nice complement to the speedy Santana Moss and the newly acquired Justin McCareins. It remains to be seen however if can bounce back from concussion issues that nearly ended his career last year.
Chrebet lost a bit of his team-guy rep when he grumbled about his role in the offense last sesaon, but he still ended up with 51 catches for 691 yards and a team-high nine touchdowns, including seven in the last seven weeks. The touchdowns were a nice bonus, since he only saw the end zone once in 2001. We are skeptical that he'll make the trip as much this season, but he should continue to post consistent second-tier fantasy stats.
