Six-time Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy announced his retirement from football on Friday after 11 seasons in the NFL. McCoy’s 54.5 sacks in Tampa rank him fourth all-time on the franchise’s sack list.
In nine seasons with the Buccaneers, McCoy earned 54.5 sacks — fourth-most in team history — 297 tackles, 140 quarterback hits, 79 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and 22 passes defended.
McCoy signed with the Cowboys in 2020 but missed the entire season after rupturing his quad during an offseason practice. He played one game for the Raiders in 2021 but suffered a season-ending knee injury during that contest. McCoy did not play in the NFL in 2022.
The 35-year-old ends a stellar career with 59.5 total sacks, 334 tackles, 86 tackles for loss, 153 QB hits, 24 passes defended and six forced fumbles in 11 NFL seasons.
