Former Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets quarterback Chris Streveler has officially announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 31, per @AdamSchefter.
Streveler broke the news Thursday morning by sharing a career highlight video on social media with the simple caption, "I love you all. Thank you." The retrospective montage, shared by Schefter with the heading "Through the years," chronicled the quarterback's eight-season professional journey across the NFL and the CFL.
Known for his dual-threat ability and high-energy playing style, Streveler became a cult hero among football fans, most notably during his tenure with the Jets and his championship run with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, whom he led to a Grey Cup title in 2019. In the NFL, he appeared in nine games, primarily serving as a versatile backup and situational playmaker for the Cardinals and Jets.
Streveler's most memorable NFL moment came in late 2022, when he provided a spark for New York in a prime-time relief appearance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite his status as a journeyman, his work ethic earned him widespread respect; his father noted in a heartfelt response to the retirement video that he was "overwhelmed with pride" for his son's achievements on and off the field.
