Antoine Winfield Staying Retired Despite Interest From Seahawks

According toย Mike Garafoloย of Fox Sports, veteranย CBย Antoine Winfieldย hasย decided to stay retired, despite the recent interest from the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle was reportedly trying in bring Winfield back after releasing him at the start of the regular season, which makes sense given thatย Brandon Brownerย was suspended for a second time just a few weeks ago.

The Seahawks elected to signย Perrish Coxย for the time being, butย Byron Maxwellย andย Jeremy Laneย have done a pretty good job of mitigating the impact of losingย Browner. Of course, it also helps to haveย Richard Shermanย and Earl Thomas in your secondary.

Winfield, 36, was a three-time Pro Bowl selection who played his best years for the Minnesota Vikings. Despite his age, Winfield put together a heck of 2012 season and has had a very solid career in the NFL.
