John Moffitt leaves Denver Broncos, quits football
By Chris Wesseling
Around the League Writer Published: Nov. 5, 2013 at 06:27 p.m. Updated: Nov. 5, 2013 at 08:26 p.m. Denver Broncos guard John Moffitt has decided to give up football at the age of 27. The Broncos placed Moffitt on the reserve/left squad list Tuesday after he failed to report to the team after the Week 9 bye. Center J.D. Walton was activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list to take his roster spot. Moffitt, the No. 75 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, is doing some "soul-searching" due to his lack of playing time, a source close to Moffitt told the Denver Post. It sounds like Moffitt has already found his answer. The former Seahawks guard said to Dave "Softy" Mahler of KJR-AM Seattle on Tuesday that he's "ready to live a different kind of life" outside of football. A 15-game starter over three NFL seasons, Moffitt was a healthy scratch in six of eight games since the Broncos acquired him from the Seahawks in a convoluted August trade. Now that he has plenty of free time on his hands, he would be well advised to steer clear of local shopping malls. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200...quits-football |

I read about this this morning. I knew the name from the Hawks draft but didn't think it important enough to post here.

I remember him losing the guard battle to Sweezy in training camp but I was pretty surprised by how quickly he fell off.
He was pretty highly regarded in Seattle for a bit; seemed like a nice pickup for Denver. Eh, they weren't using him much and gave up very little to get him. I'd like to take more satisfaction in this but I just can't get there.

He's better than Jeff Allen I'd bet. Wisconsin OL are ideal for the kind of system that Reid likes to run.
Whatever, though. It sounds like he doesn't want to come back to the sport at all. |

I've been told you and me can block for Payed-a-ton and he'd still win so it really doesn't matter...
