Reasons why Robert Bowles announced his retirement.
Robert hadn’t appeared in an NFL game since 2021, when he caught five passes for 47 yards and a touchdown with the Texans. He had played for the Buccaneers from 2017–20 and spent part of the 2022 season on the Tennessee Titans’ practice squad. After a year away from the game filled with introspection, soul-searching, and meaningful moments, I’ve arrived at a decision that marks the end of an era for me—I chose to retire from professional football, Auclair said in an Instagram post. This past year has been a unique journey of self-discovery, giving me the time and space to reflect on my passion, my purpose and what truly matters in this next chapter of life
