Veteran NFL wide receiver Robert Woods has officially announced his retirement from professional football. The announcement came after Woods signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Los Angeles Rams to retire with the franchise where he spent five seasons of his career, per @RapSheet.
Woods, a key contributor to the Rams' Super Bowl LVI championship run, returns to Los Angeles to conclude a career that spanned over a decade. Known as "Bobby Trees" by fans, the veteran wideout was a foundational piece of the team's offense under head coach Sean McVay. Before his time in Los Angeles, Woods was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He also spent time with the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans later in his career.
Over his career, Woods amassed over 8,000 receiving yards and was widely regarded as one of the most versatile and best blocking receivers in the league. His tenure with the Rams included two 1,000-yard seasons and a pivotal role in establishing the culture of the modern Los Angeles era.
