Arizona Cardinals linebacker Kyle Fitts on Monday announced his retirement after just three years in the league, saying in a post on Instagram that he has suffered too many concussions and it is no longer safe for him to continue playing. 

“After 21 years of playing, football has come to an end for me,” Fitts wrote. “Due to too many concussions and the severity of my recent one, it is no longer safe for me to continue to play. I am so grateful for this game and everything it has taught and brought into my life. Thank you to all my coaches and teammates throughout my career. I am also so thankful for my family and wife who have supported me through all the ups and downs and special thank you to my dad.
