Agent: Cameron Wake 'is playing this season'; retirement report 'simply not true'

Originally posted on Sportsnaut | By Jesse Reed | Last updated 3/22/20

On Saturday, a report emerged indicating veteran edge-rusher Cameron Wake is set to retire. On Sunday, his agent debunked that rumor with an emphatic denunciation.

After seeing a Rotoworld tweet about the report, Paul Sheehy set the record straight:

As Cam’s agent, I can tell you this is simply not true. Cameron is playing this season and we are actively engaged in conversations with teams. https://t.co/UMixWWURWI

Well, there you have it.

Wake, 38, has played 11 years in the NFL after starting out in the CFL. A five-time Pro Bowler, he’s put up a stunning 100.5 sacks during his illustrious career and has been one of the most consistent pass-rushers in the league over the past decade.

Last season, Wake only had 2.5 sacks as a member of the Tennessee Titans, so it does appear he may be slowing down as he approaches 40. However, it’s not hard to imagine he’d be a tremendous addition to a contender as a situational pass-rusher in 2020.
