Smart of him to get out before another concussion.

Wow. Great linebacker. One of the dominant defensive players of his era and a future HOF member. A huge blow to the Panthers. And a bigger deal than Joe Brady going to Carolina.

Does this mean Carolina releasing Newton and a total rebuild? Seems like it.

Great player. Saints aren’t sad to see him go I’m sure.

New coaching staff and their defensive leader just retired. It would make sense to go trade or release Cam and rebuild around the young core they have in place.

 

[Silly Burrito]

So now they can't trade up to get Joe Burrow, they need to replace Luke. Right? Right?

 

[SweetT]

Good luck Luke. It was nice meeting you a few years ago.

 

[El Caliente]

Maybe not a 1st Ballot HOF player, but he will get in.

 

[gavinj]

Wow he’s only 28 years old

Wow. Surprising news. Really great player. I did enjoy watching him play even if he was a huge pain in the Saints backside. Good for him for putting his health first.

What a great player although I think the shortened career will make it rough on HoF voters. 8 years would be the shortest career of any HoF LBer (matching a two-way player George Connor). Patrick Willis didnt make the cut to the semi-finals possibly because of his short career.

Mucho respect and hats off to him! As much as I hated him on the other side, he is a great and deserves his health from here on out

 

[Juicy Fruit]

Had a ton of respect for Keuchly, that man was a BEAST

 

[BreesusSaves]

He was an incredible player. Best of luck in all his future endeavors.

 

[TenTwo]

Well. Bye

 

[SaintJ]

Proper.

Peace out, baby. Maybe the best of your era at the position, and even more credit for the wisdom of the decision.
