The Facts: Chandler's most recent knee surgery could force him to retire. The tight end, who was released last month by the Patriots, posted a statement to Facebook where he said his latest left knee surgery "will take me out of next season, and probably keep me from playing again."

Diehards Line: Chandler, who has been in the league since 2007 and has played for the Chargers, Bills, Cowboys and Patriots, also thanked his family and friends for all their support over the years, saying that he was “surrounded by helpful, caring people.” The 30-year-old Chandler, who finished his one year with New England with 23 catches for 259 yards and four touchdowns, was on the injury report consistently from December on last season with a knee issue. He had drawn some interest on the free agent market, working out for the Colts. If this is it, Chandler will finish his career with 205 catches for 2,379 yards and 21 touchdowns.
