Bills RT Butler retired after four NFL seasons

At the age 26 and just finishing four NFL seasons, the Buffalo Bills right tackle Brad Butler decided to say goodbye to the football career. As a major in government studies at Virginia, the young man thinks his life should be spent in other area.

“My passion for education, country and community is something that I am ready to devote my full attention to,” he said in a statement released by the team on Thursday. “I believe the best way to pursue these spheres of interest is to step away from the game of football at this point in my life.”

Butler’s NFL career began in 2006 when he was drafted by the Bills in the fifth round. Wearing the No. 60 Bills jersey, Butler started all but two of the 33 games he played for the team, with only two games being played in 2009 as he sustained a serious knee injury in Week 2 while playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
