As it was expected, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has retired from the National Football League.
Warner who was the NFL MVP in 1999/2001 and played for the St Louis Rams, New York Giants and led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 1999 where he won MVP.
Warner was plucked from obscurity playing Arena Football with the Iowa Barnstormers and was bagging groceries at a Hy-vee Grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa before joining the Rams.
Warner got his shot due to an injury to starting quarterback Trent Green in a preseason game against the Chargers. Warner became the first NFL quarterback in his first three NFL starts to throw three touchdowns in each.
During Warner's tenure with the Rams, he led them to two Super Bowls. After losing his job to Marc Bulger, Warner quarterbacked the New York Giants in 2004 to a 5-4 before Eli Manning took over.
Warner's appeared to be the flash in the pan until Arizona signed him to a one-year deal in 2005 and eventually signed him to a long-term deal. Warner eventually led the Cardinals to Super Bowl 43 where they fell short against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Warner ends his playing career with 32,344 yards and 208 touchdowns.
