Ware might just end up in the Hall of Fame. He was a nine-time All Pro, and his 138.5 career sacks are the eighth best tally in NFL history. He was vital in helping the Denver Broncos win Super Bowl 50 as well.
As Ware noted, he definitely could have kept playing, and was linked to a few teams. Ultimately, though, he’s decided to call it a day at the age of 34.
