Ali Marpet
32-Year-Old
Free Agent
Signed a five-year, $54.13 million contract with the Buccaneers in October of 2018.
Plans to end playing career
Marpet announced Sunday that he plans to retire from professional football, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The announcement comes as a surprise, with the 28-year-old coming off his first Pro Bowl season. Per Laine, Marpet elected to conclude his playing career due to concerns for his overall health. With the 2015 second-round selection no longer in the mix, the Buccaneers will need to find a new starting left guard ahead of the 2022 campaign. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's starters at center (Ryan Jensen) and right guard (Alex Cappa) are poised to become unrestricted free agents, and the franchise also is looking for a new top quarterback following Tom Brady's retirement.
