In a post he wrote for the Huffington Post, free agent Rashard Mendenhall hinted he could retire.
"...the journey is over and I am fully at peace. Eagerly looking to a new way, which lies ahead," Mendenhall wrote. Mendenhall battled toe and recurring knee issues last season with the Cardinals and averaged just 3.2 YPC. Take away a 28-yard run against the 49ers in Week 17, Mendenhall's longest run on the season was 15 yards. His explosion has been sapped. The Cardinals reportedly haven't closed the door on re-signing him, but coach Bruce Arians recently made it clear that Andre Ellington will be the No. 1 back. Mendenhall turns 27 in June.
He is obviously having to make a difficult decision and if he has been humble to admit that he may not have the gears to move onwards, then I respect him for his honesty (and his stat analysis) .... better than the alternative bulls**t you hear most of the time.

Of course he may just be saying bye to Arizona.
