Former first-round bust EJ Manuel retires, per report

EJ Manuel

EJ Manuel recently signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, but he has already made the decision to retire, per Field Yates of ESPN.

A former No. 16 overall pick out of Florida State, Manuel spent his first four seasons with the Buffalo Bills. After failing to live up to expectations in Buffalo, he signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Raiders in 2017 and backed up Derek Carr. He re-signed with Oakland in 2018 but was released before the season began when the Raiders landed A.J. McCarron in a trade.

In 30 career NFL games, including 18 starts, Manuel passed for 3,767 yards with 20 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
