Terron Armstead on his retirement: "I was only able to play under the pain meds"
Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead's retirement was precipitated by a lingering knee injury that wasn't getting better, left him unable to walk under his own power after games and forced him to use pain medication. Armstead said on the Nightcap Show that he decided to walk away when he realized, 'I just can't perform at the same level.' The 33-year-old Armstead played 12 NFL seasons but said a knee injury that he initially suffered in 2015 never fully healed. 'I've been dealing with a knee since my third year in the league,' Armstead said. 'I didn't see a practice field at all, and not because I didn't want to or the Dolphins just wanted me to rest. It's like I literally couldn't walk. After a game on Sunday, I wouldn't be able to walk on my own, under my own power, until Wednesday, Thursday. So I was only able to play under the pain meds. I couldn't put any pressure on my knee, so it was like, I can't keep doing that to myself.' Armstead's story is a common one, as life in the NFL often takes a painful toll on its players. Eventually, Armstead decided he couldn't do it anymore.

Dolphins place LT Terron Armstead on reserve-retired list
June 2 - The retirement of Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead became official Monday when the team placed him on the reserve-retired list. Armstead let it be known in April that he was retiring, with the Dolphins waiting until June to submit official paperwork in order to move the cap hit obligations over two years instead of one. Of the $18.548 million in dead money that remains, $10.732 million of it can now be moved to 2026. Miami can also recover more than $7 million signing-bonus money that already was paid and turn it into a credit on their cap hit. Armstead, 33, played the final three of his 12 NFL seasons with the Dolphins. He spent his first nine seasons with the New Orleans Saints and started 131 of his 135 games played. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times, most recently in 2023. --Field Level Media

Dolphins place Terron Armstead on reserve-retired list
Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead retired as a practical matter in April. The team made it official today. The Dolphins have announced that they placed Armstead on the reserve-retired list. It's no coincidence that it happened today. The move spreads the cap consequences over two years. The total dead money is $18.548 million. Processing the move after June 1 pushes $10.732 million of the amount into 2026. The Dolphins also will be permitted under the CBA to recover more than $7 million in unearned signing-bonus payments previously made to Armstead. If/when cash is recovered, they will be entitled to a cap credit. The Dolphins may have agreed to waive some or all of the repayment obligation when Armstead slashed his 2025 base salary from $13.3 million to $1.255 million, which allowed the Dolphins to carry a much lower cap number for Armstead while waiting until after June 1 to put him on the reserve-retired list. If he had refused, the Dolphins could have dumped the $13.3 million only by cutting him — and thereby triggering the full $18.548 million cap charge for 2025.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Armstead handled himself with class throughout his career.
