TE Jake Butt - Retired from the NFL 07.29.2021 (2 Viewers)

[Faust]

Broncos TE Jake Butt (knee) said he's back to 100 percent health. 

Butt missed all of 2019 after undergoing left knee surgery. It was his fourth "major" knee operation since 2014. With Albert Okwuegbunam joining Noah Fant in the Broncos' tight end room, 25-year-old (in July) Butt's time with the Broncos has probably come and gone.

No. The thread that disappeared was the A.J. Brown thread.

Rooting hard for this guy. Easy to forget just how talented he was (is).

Jake Butt makes the Broncos’ 53-man roster.

Incredible. Couldn’t be happier for Jake. A fantastic example of perseverance.

Not only is Jake Butt a fantastic story and someone everyone can cheer for, he’s also a dangerous player when healthy.

He’s healthy now.

He's no Dave Butz.

Former Bears and Broncos TE Jake Butt is retiring after four years in the NFL.

That's five if you include Butt's brief 2021 stay in Chicago. A celebrated college player at Michigan, Butt fell to the fifth round of the 2017 Draft after tearing his ACL in the 2016 Orange Bowl. That was the second of what would end up as three tears, limiting him to 10 catches in four years. Now 26, Butt's body simply would not cooperate with the football lifestyle.

Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Butt.  Don't let the door hit you in the, well, you know...on the way out.

One of the best.  Names that is.

A shame he never cracked the top 10. Injuries always made him a few steps behind.

Shame he couldn't even make it as a donkey. Maybe he could try the CFL like Warren Moon.

Dont be cheeky.

He was the butt of many jokes. 

That’s it. There’s no but(t) coming in that sentence.

Or the league, for that matter. 

 

[grateful zed]

He's a bum.

A sad day for play by play guys everywhere. The potential for endless “Butt leaking wide open down the seam” type lines, dead on the vine
