Kam Chancellor Apparently Announces Retirement Due to a Neck Injury

One of the Seattle Seahawks' most important players and one of the best players in the league has unfortunately been forced to withdraw from the NFL. Kam Chancellor announced his retirement on Sunday. This is because of a neck injury that he suffered during the 2017 season.

Chancellor took Twitter to give a long announcement, saying that the final tests done on his neck " showed no cure, "and suggested that the risk of paralysis – He's too good to continue playing in the NFL.

His full statement is sincere and touching despite the fact that he brings such troubling news. The Chancellor, for what it is worth, spends a lot of time talking about the next chapter of his statement.

An original member of the Seahawks' Legion of Boom, the Chancellor became a fifth-round pick. In 2010, he joined with guys like Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas in the Super Bowl XLVIII, where his team destroyed the Denver Broncos 43-8.

The Chancellor's injury caused a tough 10 week against the Cardinals of Arizona. It was the same game in which Sherman tore his Achilles, and the Chancellor's injury went somewhat under the radar until it was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Chancellor ends his career with a Super Bowl ring, four Pro Bowl appearances and two All-Pro second team appearances.
