On April 5, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that offensive lineman Terron Armstead was retiring from the NFL.

"#Dolphins five-time Pro Bowl LT Terron Armstead is retiring, officially ending a star-studded 12-year career. Armstead was one of the best left tackles of his generation beginning with his stint with the #Saints. Now, he heads into his second career 🎙️."

Armstead then made an appearance on the popular 'Up And Adams Show' alongside NFL analyst Kay Adams on Wednesday and made clear that he wanted to still be around the game of football in some capacity.

"It's still setting in Kay, I'm still trying to get used to the new normal, but it's real, it's here. I'm excited about it. I'm excited about my future. I'm trying to figure out in what capacity I'll be around the game, but I'm sure I won't take my knowledge and experience and lock it away. I want to use it and share it with others."

As is evident from his recent comments, Armstead appears to be set to remain around the game of football moving forward. However, it is still not fully clear what role Armstead will have, whether that will be as a coach, an analyst, or a commentator.
