Godfrey has decided to retire after eight NFL seasons, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.
Godfrey was signed by the Falcons on multiple occasions last year, as well as going into this offseason. Entering his ninth NFL season, the safety was unlikely to see much time on the field and apparently decided that retirement was a preferable option. In his eight seasons, Godfrey recorded 11 interceptions, 34 passes defensed and 384 tackles while playing seven seasons in Carolina and one in Atlanta.
