After the Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Brad Butler announced his retirement, some teammates couldn’t believe it was true. The 26-year-old man was expected to return as the Bills’ starting right tackle for 2010 season but he chose to take off NFL jersey to concentrate on his education and political aspirations.
“It came as a great shock to me,” offensive guard Eric Wood told the Bills’ official Web site. “Brad called me Thursday and we had a good conversation and when it was getting toward the end of the conversation I asked him how his leg was doing. He said that’s what he was calling about and that he was retiring from the Bills. As we went on he said he has more aspirations outside of football.”
Offensive tackle Demetrius Bell also expressed his surprise but said that he knew Brad and understood he had other interests besides football and he could not “devote the time necessary to be successful in football at the same time.”
