Secondly, thank you to all of the amazing staff at the facility. I had the chance to stop by and thank each of you in person but wanted to again recognize that you all were a huge reason for my success in Denver. I will NEVER forget any of you and forever am thankful for your influence and help for my growth not only in my career, but for me as a father, husband, brother, and teammate.

Additionally, to Broncos Country..the greatest fans int he world!! Thank you for embracing me and Taryn as a newly married couple and watching us leave as a beautiful family with 3 beautiful children, 8 years later. You have always supported us consistently both on the field and off. I am going to miss walking down in to the stadium on game day and signing for every fan one way coming in, and the other way after the game. There is nothing like the game day atmosphere at Mile High stadium and running out into the sea of Orange. I don’t have any regrets over the past 8 seasons, but I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t deliver on getting you back to the post season. I understand it’s a business but as a captain and leader I am disappointed that I won’t see this thing through. I will always love you, Broncos Country.

Lastly, to my teammates. Man… thank you guys for everything. You guys are the reason why it was so easy to go to work and continue to improve my game. You all pushed me every day and challenged me both on and off the field. The highest honor was being voted a 3x captain by you guys, truly grateful for that. I love y’all man and I can’t say thank you enough for all the support you have shown me and my family. Band of brothers 4L and y’all know that.

My family and I are looking forward to the next chapter and I cannot wait to see where we will end up. I am more motivated than ever. Nobody can stop what God has in store. His plan is perfect.

Thank you again..from the bottom of my heart. With all my heart.”
