Lorenzo Alexander hung em’ up after the 2019 season. After more than a decade in the NFL, playing all over the field, he retired as a member of the Bills after last year.
Alexander, soon to be 37, was stern about his decision following the Bills’ playoff loss to the Texans in January.
“I’m done,” Alexander said. “I made the decision a while ago, and so I’m at peace with it. It’s more about choosing my family than not choosing football. … It’s been a great ride. I have no regrets. I’ve loved every minute of it.”
“I’m 100 percent sure,” he added.
But via West Herr, he spoke to Bills Wire’s Bradley Gelber on Friday and while every so slightly, Alexander did, in fact, leave the door open for a return. Again, it’s a very small opening.
“All I was saying to (Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott)…if y’all get in a dire need… injuries, which you never know, I’m staying ready, just in case,” Alexander said. “But it’s only for the playoffs. I’m picking my shot? It’s only for the playoffs. That’s probably all I can handle right now.”
Alexander said that decision would have to do with what he described as a tight-knit relationship he has with McDermott and the team. So if they really, really needed him, he’d see what he can do. But Alexander did also admit that he’s feeling very relaxed and content with his retirement from football currently.
