Browns safety Rodney McLeod plans to retire after this season.
McLeod, who turns 34 next month, told NFL Network he thinks it’s time to walk away after next season.
“This is the last lap for me. It’s been a long career,” McLeod said. “I’m looking forward to hanging out with my teammates this year, giving it my all and hopefully ending up where we want to be, which is the last dance at the end of the year.”
McLeod said he might have retired this off-season if not for the torn biceps he suffered in November that forced him to miss the end of the regular season and the playoffs. He wants to help the Browns get to the playoffs again and this time be a part of it.
“This year we are wrapping up unfinished business,” McLeod said.
An undrafted free agent in 2012, McLeod played for the Rams, Eagles and Colts before signing a one-year deal with the Browns last year. He signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract to return to the Browns in March.
