Drew Bennett retires just days after signing with Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens were excited when Drew Bennett signed with the team late last week. But just days after he signed, Bennett informed the team of his retirement from professional football.
“After returning home from Baltimore this weekend, a previous knee injury flared up, making me realize that I am unable to play another NFL season,” Bennett said. “Therefore, I have decided to retire from the National Football League. I want to thank Coach Harbaugh, Coach Cameron and Ozzie Newsome for offering me the opportunity to be a part of their outstanding organization, and apologize to them for this unfortunate situation.
Bennett continued to say he was excited to become a Raven, but now he’s looking forward to life after football.
“The Ravens are a first-class organization that I was truly excited to join. After an offseason of workouts and rehab I thought I was ready to play again, but it became apparent over this weekend that while my mind is willing, my body will not be able to make it through another NFL season. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to play in the NFL for as long as I have, but it is time for me to move on to the next chapter in my life.”
Asshole move by Bennett. He should have never signed in the first place.
