Jets' Chrebet Says His Career Is Over

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet said Thursday his career was over, one month after sustaining a season-ending concussion.

Chrebet spent 11 seasons with his hometown team after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Hofstra, but was plagued with head injuries the last few seasons. Though he was undersized at 5-foot-10, he quickly became a clutch possession receiver, working his way up the team record charts.

He ends his career with 580 receptions, second to Don Maynard's 627 on the team list. Chrebet made his first appearance at the Jets' facility Thursday since he was hurt Nov. 6 against San Diego. His impromptu comments confirmed the expected.

Good guy, grew up local to me, friends with my neighbor. I have much respect for what he did. When he comes to my neighbors he is always out with the neighborhood kids having a catch!

Good luck to him in the future!

Has he had alot of concussions? I remember at least 2. Hopefully the postconcussion syndrome won't limit him in the future, even though he was a JET I respected what he was able to do as an undersized WR.

He was a tough self made football player with a ton of heart. I am pleased he won't be running those darn crossing patterns on 3rd down in the future.
