What is Colt McCoy's post-retirement plans
Colt McCoy announced Monday that he is retiring from the NFL. The former Texas Longhorns standout played 13 seasons in the NFL after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
He didn't take a snap during the 2023 NFL season after he was released by the Arizona Cardinals at the end of training camp. He decided to focus on rehabilitating his elbow after undergoing surgery, with plans of possibly playing in 2024. However, that never came to fruition.

McCoy got his first taste of a broadcasting career in 2023 when he joined the USFL (United States Football League) broadcast, calling games on NBC.
Before his NFL career, McCoy was the winningest quarterback in college football history with 45 wins during his tenure with the Texas Longhorns. He was a four-year starter for the Longhorns and won the Walter Camp Award for Player of the Year in both 2008 and 2009. He was also a finalist for the Heisman trophy in 2009.
