Andy Levitre
Player News
Levitre (triceps) announced his retirement from the league Tuesday via his personal Twitter account.
Levitre proved to be a remarkably durable player throughout his first nine years as a pro, suiting up in 141 consecutive games for the Bills, Titans and Falcons between 2009 and 2017. A partially torn triceps at the end of the 2017 season forced him to miss Atlanta's run to the divisional round of the playoffs, and the injury re-emerged in September, forcing him to miss 14 of 16 games last year. Initially a second-round draft choice of Buffalo, Levitre grew into a quality starter for two Falcons playoff teams, and played every offensive snap in the Super Bowl LI loss to New England. His $42 million earned during 10 years of NFL service ranks 10th-most all-time among offensive guards, per Spotrac.
According to Vaughn McClure at ESPN, the Falcons may cut ties with G Andy Levitre.
After coming over from Tennessee in an off-season trade for a sixth-round pick his time in Atlanta now appears it could be over. Levitre was thought to be a good fit in the Falcons system but he proved to be inadequate and was the most penalized member of Atlanta. He is just 29, so he should have life left in the league but will have to find a new suitor for 2016.
Titans traded Andy Levitre to the Falcons.
If there's one lesson the falcons learned from last year, it was that you can never have too much offensive line depth. Levitre will serve as a back-up in Atlanta.
Andy Levitre isn't a lock to make the Titans 53-man roster.
Levitre has started every game in his six year career, but was played over in practice in his usual guard spot. If he does get cut, assume that Levitre will get some suitors across the NFL looking for a veteran offensive lineman that can do the job.
