Future Hall of Famer Michael Strahan has told FoxSports.com that he has decided to retire from the National Football League.

“It was important that my teammates knew which way I was going before they got on the field to start the work to defend our title,” the New York Giants defensive end said “It’s time. I’m done. It’s a tough decision but I wanted to be fair to the Giants and fair to my teammates.”

Strahan is going out on top and he will be a unanimous first-ballot Hall Of Famer.
