Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson officially retired today in front of a room full of Cardinals players, staff and media at the team's facility in Tempe. Peterson inked a one-day deal to retire a member of the organization which drafted him fifth overall in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Three-time All-Pro Patrick Peterson announced his retirement on Monday as a member of the Arizona Cardinals, where he spent the first 10 of his 13 NFL seasons as one of the league’s elite cornerbacks.

While acknowledging his 10-year tenure with the Arizona Cardinals ended acrimoniously in 2020, Patrick Peterson said Monday it was a "no-brainer" to retire with the franchise. Peterson, 34, was back in Arizona's headquarters Monday to officially announce the end of his 13-year career that began as the fifth-overall pick in 2011.
