A member of the Los Angeles Rams' 2021 Super Bowl team called it a career on Tuesday,
Robert Woods announced on social media that he is retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons. The Rams also announced that Woods signed a one-day contract to retire with the franchise that he spent five years with.
"After 27 unforgettable years of pouring my heart into this game, and 13 incredible years in the NFL – It's time for me to step away from playing the sport that has given me everything," Woods said on Instagram. "Football has never been a game to me – it has been my passion, my purpose, and my lifelong dream. I cherished every moment my cleats touched the grass. Every time I stepped onto the field, I was determined to leave a piece of myself in every snap."
During his 13-year career, Woods played for five franchises, but he's best known for his time in Los Angeles and with the Buffalo Bills. The 33-year-old tallied two 1,000-yard seasons, both coming with the Rams.
Woods began his career in 2013 as a second-round pick by the Bills.
The USC product last appeared in an NFL game in 2024 with the Houston Texans. He spent some time on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad in 2025, but didn't play a single snap before requesting his release in September.
We congratulate Woods for a fantastic NFL career and wish him the best of luck in his post-playing days.
