Moreau announced his news on social media on Monday evening and can now focus on football
In May, Moreau signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Saints despite still battling the disease.
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system.
Post-diagnosis, Moreau wrote on social media: “Through a somewhat miraculous process, this Free Agency period has changed my life.
“During a routine physical examination by the Saints medical team in New Orleans, I learned that I have Hodgkin lymphoma and that I will be retiring from football.
‘Right now to fight a new opponent: Cancer. I am grateful for the support and grateful for people who have stood next to me.
There is not a single step I have taken without hundreds of people lighting the path for me, and I will continue to seek their advice.
“That being said, I’m going to give this thing a kick and get back to doing what I love!” AMDG!’
Now Moreau can sharpen his focus on playing in the NFL for his hometown team.
Moreau, formerly of the Raiders, was recently signed by hometown team New Orleans Saints
They have three preseason games, starting August 13, against Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Saints then begin the season on September 10 against the Tennessee Titans.
Prior to signing with the Saints, Moreau played three years for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2019 to 2022.
