Quarterback Alex Smith announced his retirement Monday after 16 NFL seasons, sharing the news on Instagram.

The 36-year-old made an amazing return last season with Washington, two years after suffering a gruesome broken leg in a November 2018 game, after which he had to have 17 surgeries.

Washington released Smith in March, and though he said he intended to keep playing, he remained unsigned more than a month into free agency.

 

Arrest Warrant Issued For Aldon Smith

An arrest warrant was issued Monday in Louisiana for Seattle Seahawks defensive end Aldon Smith for alleged second-degree battery.

St. Bernard Parish District Attorney Perry Nicosia said Smith allegedly choked the victim unconscious during a confrontation Saturday that began inside a coffee shop in Chalmette.

The 31-year-old Smith signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks just two days before the incident, on April 15th. The Seahawks said they are “gathering more information.”
