Shannon Sharpe will retire from the NFL to pursue a career with CBS Sports.
The all-time NFL leader in receptions for a tight end is a surefire Hall-of-Famer, finishing his career with 10060 yards and 62 TDs. He leaves at the top of his game, one of the best five tight ends in the league. Sharpe was never fully embraced by the Denver public, possibly because of his outspoken nature. Sharpe will now yap on the “CBS Today” pregame show. Jed Weaver, O.J. Santiago, and Byron Chamberlain are candidates to replace him in the Denver lineup.
