Josh Brent has decided to retire from the NFL.

Bbrent was indicted on intoxication manslaughter charges last December after the the car he was driving was in an accident and killed teammate Jerry Brown.

"This is the right decision for me, and something that I have given a lot of thought to," Brent said in a statement.

"I am at a point where my main focus is all about getting the priorities in my life in order. Those priorities are more important than football. Doing the right things in life are more important than football. I love the game very much. I love my teammates, but this is the right thing for me to do."
