Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick suggested Thursday that he may be retiring from the NFL.
Former NFL running back Fred Jackson, who was Fitzpatrick’s teammate with the Buffalo Bills from 2009 to 2012, shared the following text message he received from Fitz:
Fred Jackson @Fred22Jackson
Congrats on a Helluva career, Fitzy!! Loved sharing the field with you!! The gratitude is all mine!! <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/BillsMafia?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#BillsMafia</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/fitzmagic?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#fitzmagic</a> <a href=”https://t.co/s7n4DsiLJ7″>pic.twitter.com/s7n4DsiLJ7</a>
In addition to thanking Jackson, Fitzpatrick sent him an image that appears to be made up of the names of all of his teammates over the course of a 17-year NFL career.
NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero later reported Fitzpatrick is likely to pursue a career in broadcasting.
Fitzpatrick appeared in just one game for the Washington Commanders last season before suffering a season-ending hip injury.
