Injuries may force Doug Baldwin to retire?

The Seahawks’ anchor at wide receiver this decade, Doug Baldwin might be unable to continue his career. The Pro Bowl wideout’s injuries could force an early retirement. The overall effect of the injuries Baldwin has sustained may well force him to end his career after eight seasons, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports (on Twitter). Baldwin dealt with a knee injury throughout last season. It frequently limited the usually dominant slot target. In the offseason alone, Baldwin has undergone knee, groin and shoulder operations. These may have taken their toll to the point where Baldwin will have to shut it down, although Schefter adds the popular Seahawk wants to keep playing. Baldwin’s injury concerns did not blindside the Seahawks, per Schefter. Their trade-up decision to select D.K. Metcalf certainly points to Seattle possibly knowing it needs immediate help at receiver. While nothing has come out from Baldwin just yet, it’s obviously in play that the 30-year-old NFL success story will not return for the 2019 s
