Former Cardinals QB Colt McCoy officially retiring from NFL

He is a year removed from playing in the NFL, but former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy is done playing. According to Peter Schrager, McCoy is officially retiring from the NFL and is landing a top broadcasting job, the announcement for which is coming soon as of Monday morning.

McCoy last played in 2022.

He spent last offseason with the Cardinals but was cut before the season and did not play with anyone else, although he had phone calls. He had an elbow injury that kept him from being able to do what he always had.

McCoy was a star out of Texas drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round in 2010 and played 13 seasons for the Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, New York Giants and Cardinals.

He spent the final two years of his career with the Cardinals. In those two seasons, he played in 12 games and started six, going 3-3 in those games. He completed 71% of his passes for 1,520 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions.
