I've seen multiple twitter posts about it.

The Pats added him to the retired player list on 4/24.

Agreed.And if there is an Achilles heel of the Patriots and Brady's fantasy production, it could be their offensive line. As a Pats fan, I'm at an orange alert...

Sebastian Vollmer and Nate Solder are both really really good. I wouldn't be worried, unless you're concerned about injuries for either of them (and Seabass has had some issues with it)

Light was a good player but I feel his game fell off the last few years. I didn't have a warm and fuzzy seeing him go against elite and very good D-linemen. The other guys can't be worse.

(Rotoworld) Retired LT Matt Light revealed Monday that he played through Crohn's disease for his entire 11-year career.

Analysis: Crohn's is a bowel disease that affects the digestive system. Light says it factored into his retirement, and that he had a near-death experience in 2004. Light suffered complications from an operation to remove 13 inches of his intestine, and couldn't eat for a month. His weight dropped from 315 to 260 post-operation, holding him out of Patriots training camp until the third week. Incredibly, Light missed just six games over his final six seasons.

Wow

Amazing. Similar thing happened to David Garrard in Jacksonville. We lose track of how much willpower these professional football players have.Dear Matt: thank you very much for your years of service. very sad to see you go.

That is amazing that he was able to play. Really makes it even more impressive with him having such a career he had.
