Kerry Collins announces retirement by The Sports Network

Tennessee Titans quarterback Kerry Collins announced his retirement from professional football Thursday, ending a 16-year career.

Collins, 38, had played for the Titans for the last five seasons. In a statement released through his agency, Athletes First, Collins said he is not up to preparing for another season.

“The past several months have brought on much introspection, and I have decided that while my desire to compete on Sundays is still and always will be there, my willingness to commit to the preparation necessary to play another season has waned to a level that I feel is no longer adequate to meet the demands of the position,” the statement said.

Following a collegiate career at Penn State, Collins was taken fifth overall in the 1995 draft by the expansion Carolina Panthers. He played three-plus seasons with the Panthers and joined the New York Giants in 1999, earning the starting job during that season.

In 2000, he helped the Giants go 12-4 and win the NFC title before losing to Baltimore in Super Bowl XXXV.

Collins also played for Oakland and New Orleans during his career. In 194 games (177 starts), he completed 55.8 percent of his passes for 40,441 yards and 206 touchdowns, with 195 interceptions.

“I feel very fortunate to have played with and to have been coached by some of the greatest the game has ever seen,” Collins’ statement said. “I feel especially fortunate to have played under some of the true patriarchs of the modern game: Joe Paterno, the late Wellington Mara, Al Davis and Bud Adams. I would like to thank all of those coaches, players and other team personnel along the way who have shaped me both personally and professionally.

“I want to wish Mike Munchak and the Tennessee Titans the best of luck in the future. I have had a fantastic five years here, and my family and I look forward to remaining part of the middle Tennessee community that has been extremely gracious towards us and an honor to play for.”
