Patriots' Matthew Slater: Ends storied special-teams career
Slater announced Tuesday that he has retired from professional football.
Slater, 38, is calling it a career after 16 seasons in the NFL, all of which were spent with New England as a core contributor on the Patriots' special-teams units. The 2008 fifth-round pick retires with three Super Bowl rings, five first-team All-Pro nods, and 10 Pro Bowl honors under his belt. Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick recently referred to Slater as the best special-teams player in NFL history, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, saying he was glad to have coached the greatest players in all three phases of the game, the others being Tom Brady on offense and Lawrence Taylor on defense.

Patriots' Matthew Slater: Remains limited to special teams
Slater played all 21 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.
Slater has suited up for all 12 of the Patriots' games this season but has played all 272 of his snaps on special teams. Though he's listed as a receiver, Slater hasn't even drawn a target since the 2016 season and likely won't be counted on to contribute on offense even if the four wideouts currently on New England's Week 14 injury report -- DeVante Parker (knee), Demario Douglas (concussion), JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) aren't able to play Thursday against the Steelers.
