I got to go on a camping trip. Andy Reid and I were texting because I was a free agent, and he wanted me to go to KC, and I just told him, like, hey, I think I'm done.

And then I got back and I had to deal with, you know, six teams that called and all these different things. And Tori and I are talking about everything. And it's just really hard for me to take because I'm not ready to make a decision. And I just didn't feel like I could do it. But then I remember just saying a prayer, you know, prayer to God, like, God, like, I really don't know what to do.

Like, stop being paralyzed. You're living in fear. That doesn't come from me. um, either retire and I'll be with you and I love you and I'll be with you or go back and play. And then the ultimate deciding factor is what are you most afraid of? Like what is, and I was most afraid of going back to play. So that's why I made the decision.
