Gameday took a strange turn for Buffalo Bills fans when cornerback Vontae Davis abruptly retired at halftime during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 10-year football veteran said he owes the sudden career change to the realization that he "shouldn't be out here anymore." 

In a statement released by Davis, the 30-year-old said football has taken a toll on his body, and he'd prefer to "walk away healthy" than "limp away too late."

According to ESPN, the Bills signed Davis to a one-year deal in February that included a $2.25 million base salary and a $1.5 million signing bonus. $2 million of his base salary is fully guaranteed with roster bonuses of $15,625 per game on the 53-man roster and $46,876 per game on the 46-man game-day roster. Davis made it clear that money is not worth his physical or mental health and happiness. 

"I meant no disrespect to my teammates and coaches, but I hold myself to a standard," his statement read. "Mentally, I always expect myself to play at a high level. But physically, I know today that isn't possible, and I had an honest moment with myself. While I was on the field, I just didn't feel right, and I told the coaches, 'I'm not feeling like myself.'"

While the importance of self-care cannot be stressed enough, some of Davis's teammates still couldn't quite grasp the sudden retirement.

He meant no disrespect, y'all.  

"Never have seen it ever," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said of the retirement. "Pop Warner, high school, college, pros. Never heard of it. Never seen it. And it's just completely disrespectful to his teammates. … He didn't say nothing to nobody. … I found out going into the second half of the game. They said he's not coming out, he retired. That's it."

Of course, the ordeal made some for substantial Twitter roasts.

The Buffalo Bills lost 31-20 after the half, but whether that can be attributed to Davis' quitting is debatable. Elsewhere, Davis said he stands by his choice.

"This was an overwhelming decision, but I'm at peace with myself and my family."
