Woods’ Full Announcement on Instagram
After 27 unforgettable years of pouring my heart into this game, and 13 incredible years in the
NFL – It’s time for me to step away from playing the sport that has given me everything. Football has never just been a game to me – it has been my passion, my purpose, and my lifelong dream. I cherished every moment my cleats touched the grass. Every time I stepped onto the field, I was determined to leave a piece of myself in every snap. I always wanted my presence to be felt by my teammates, by my opponents, by everyone watching. I competed with everything I had, willing to do whatever it took to finish the job and bring home the win.
Lifting the Lombardi Trophy and becoming a Super Bowl champion was the dream I held onto as a child, and having the blessing to reach two and win one in 2022 is something I will treasure forever. None of this would have been possible without the incredible teammates who battled beside me, the coaches who believed in me, and the training and strength staffs who pushed me to be my very best. Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and helping turn my dreams into reality.
To the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, and Pittsburgh Steelers – thank you for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream at the highest level. To the best fans in the world — thank you for your unwavering support, your energy, and your belief in me throughout my journey. Most importantly, to my wife, my children, and my entire family – thank you for being my foundation. There are no words that can truly express my gratitude. Everything I accomplished on the field was made possible because of the support, prayers, and belief you poured into me every single day. This game gave me memories, brotherhood, and a legacy I am forever proud of. I walk away deeply grateful and fulfilled.
Woods signed with the Rams during Sean McVay’s first season as head coach in 2017. He played five of his 12 NFL seasons with Los Angeles, which was the most time he spent with any franchise. In addition to the Rams, Woods played for the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans.
In his final season with the Rams, Woods helped the team win Super Bowl LVI. He suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in mid-November that sidelined him from the playoffs but he caught 45 passes for 556 yards in nine games before the injury that season.

Woods Had Back-To-Back 1,000-Yard Receiving Seasons
Two of Woods’ best seasons in the NFL were in 2018 and 2019 with the Rams. For the first and only time in his career, Woods logged more than 1,000 rushing yards in back-to-back seasons.
He caught 86 passes for a career-high 1,219 yards in 16 games in 2018. Then, the following season in 2019, he caught a career-best 90 passes for 1,134 yards in 15 games. Woods matched his career-high 90 catches and nearly hit the 1,000-yard mark for a third consecutive season in 2020 when he logged 936 yards.
The Rams traded Woods to the Titans for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick in March 2022.
