Jaguars' Rodney Gunter: Heart condition forces retirement
Gunter (illness) announced via his personal Twitter account Sunday that he is stepping away from football due to a serious heart condition.
Gunter has been diagnosed with an enlarged aorta, a condition which would put his health at serious risk if he were to play football before undergoing an operation. However, the 28-year-old does not currently meet the requirements needed for surgery, which would offer a 50 percent chance of allowing him to retake the field if undergone. As such, Gunter is left with no option but to hang up his cleats. Gunter was expected to play a depth role with the Jaguars in 2020, and across his last five years in Arizona the defensive lineman notched a total of 126 tackles (86 solo) and 11 sacks.

Gunter arrives in Jacksonville after spending the past five seasons of his career in Arizona. The 28-year-old played in 13 games in 2019 before a toe injury forced him to injured reserve. Gunter racked up 31 tackles (20 solo) and three sacks across 622 defensive snaps last year. He'll look to battle Abry Jones and Taven Bryan for a starting spot on the interior of the defensive line in 2020.
