At the age of 30, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin might be unable to play again due to the cumulative effect of multiple injuries, league sources told ESPN.
There is a real chance that Baldwin, one of the Seahawks’ best and most popular players, has played his last NFL down, one source said Friday.
This off-season alone, the Pro-Bowl wide receiver has undergone surgery on his groin and shoulder. It is believed that Baldwin would like to continue playing, but he simply may not be able to, per sources. The Seahawks know he could be facing the end of his career.
Seattle used the last pick of the second round, the 64th overall selection, on Mississippi wide receiver D.K. Metcalf.
Seattle knows it needed help at the position. It was widely known that Baldwin fought injuries all last season but played through them.
