Rams' Weddle plans to retire again after Super Bowl

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle isn't interested in sticking around past Super Bowl LVI after coming out of retirement at the beginning of the playoffs.

"After this Super Bowl, I move on and go back to my old life, and there will be no comeback, there will not be playing, another team, another game," he told AM 570 LA Sports.

Weddle retired after the 2019 season before rejoining the Rams for their postseason run amid a heap of injuries in the L.A. secondary. The 37-year-old has appeared in all three playoff games and led the Rams in tackles in the NFC Championship Game.

"This is a chance of a lifetime to be able to be here with these guys and come back. It was never a thought, like I said last week," Weddle said. "So it's amazing to be able to understand that and know that I don't have to save myself for next season, I don't have to save myself for the offseason, I didn't have to save myself for the Super Bowl last week knowing it wasn't guaranteed. So I was throwing it in there, giving it everything I got because, listen, I don't have anything left after this other than going back and doing what I was doing before."

Weddle enjoyed a distinguished career with the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, and Rams before hanging up his cleats in 2019, earning six Pro Bowl selections and a spot on the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team. He never reached the Super Bowl before this season.
