It is truly the end of an era for Rashaad Penny.

Rashaad Penny, a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, has announced he is hanging up his cleats and riding off into the sunset to retire after six seasons in the league.

The Carolina Panthers placed Penny on the reserve/retired list on Tuesday.

He is just 28-years-old.

The decision to retire came just days after Rashaad Penny told Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer that he could still be one of the best running backs in the NFL.

“I’ve always believed in myself, knowing my capabilities,” Penny said. “I think everybody else knows that when I’m healthy, I’m probably, like, a top running back in the league. I know my place. I know what I can do. So I just keep striving from there.”

Penny had just signed a one-year deal with Carolina in May, which reunited him with Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who was on Pete Carroll’s crewwith the Seattle Seahawks during his first five seasons in the league.

Rashaad Penny Leaves The NFL With Unfulfilled High Expectations

Penny entered the league with high expectations as a first-round pick, but things never panned out that way for him.

His tenure with the Seahawks began with him making 24 appearances across the 2018 and ’19 seasons. However, he was not logging a heavy workload but did manage to score six total touchdowns.

In the years since, he has been marred by nagging injuries, which likely helped him make his decision to retire.

The 28-year-old was limited to just three games in 2020, but would have his best year in 2021 when he scored six touchdowns while leading the NFL with a 6.3 yards per carry average.

Rashard Penny has played in just 45 games with just 11 starts in his NFL career.

In 45 games, he ran for 1,951 yards and 13 touchdowns, per ESPN.com.

A new report details the whopping amount of money Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spend daily as a couple.

Travis Kelce and the Grammy Award-winning singer are closing in on the first anniversary of their relationship. Their romance was essentially confirmed to the public last September when Taylor Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 3 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

The relationship between the future Pro Football Hall of Famer and the legendary singer has drawn intense media coverage. The NFL saw noticeable increases in viewership for the 2023 Chiefs games that Swift attended.

So, how much does this popular power couple spend per day? Let’s just say the amount is jaw-dropping, even for two very wealthy celebrities.

A source told Life & Style Magazine that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift easily spend $100,000 a day when they’re together. The source cited bodyguards, private jets, luxurious hotel rooms and plenty more that add up to the six-figure expenses:

“Taylor and Travis have become international jetsetters and their extravagant spending is off the charts. The multiple bodyguards, the private jets, the deluxe hotel rooms, plus the romantic gestures they’re both known for probably makes them the most excessively spending couple in the world. It’s pretty extreme.”
