Former NFL guard Jordan Devey, who won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2014, has died by suicide at age 38. His wife, Linsey Devey, announced his death on social media, saying it would have been their 15th wedding anniversary. “You were our hero and our hearts ache in your absence,” she wrote. “As you said in your last words to me, ‘we’ll talk soon.
A GoFundMe page confirmed the former offensive lineman took his own life, leaving behind his wife and four children. Devey played 44 career games across seven seasons for five teams, including the Patriots, 49ers, Chiefs, Raiders, and Bills. He retired in 2021 after one game with Buffalo.
His parents told Fox 13 they believe he may have suffered from CTE, though testing won’t be possible due to the circumstances of his death. After retiring, Devey coached high school football in Idaho, where players saw him as “a mentor, role model, and friend”.
