Free agent LT Marcus McNeill has decided to retire from football.
The 2006 second-rounder earned trips to the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons as Philip Rivers' blindside protector. A starter in all 82 games over six seasons as the class of the AFC West, McNeill's career had stalled out the past few years due to back and neck injuries with roots dating to his college days at Auburn. Turning 29 in November, McNeill cites recurring spinal issues as the reason for retirement.
