Baltimore ? Elvis Grbac will retire from the NFL instead of attempt to play for another team, the quarterback’s agent said Monday night.

Released by the Baltimore Ravens last week after rejecting a restructured contract, Grbac turned down a proposal from the Cincinnati Bengals over the weekend. He told his agent, Jim Steiner, he was ready to quit football.

“He is going to retire,” Steiner said in a phone interview. “He’s got family issues. The thought of making an additional move was not appealing to him. Â He’s had a great run in the NFL, and he just feels like it’s time.”

Grbac, his wife and the couple’s three children live in Cleveland. Although Cincinnati is relatively close and the Bengals made what Steiner termed a “very satisfying offer,” the quarterback was not willing to relocate for the fourth time in his career and third time in three years.

Grbac left the Kansas City Chiefs last year to join the Ravens, who signed the Pro Bowl free agent to a five-year, $30 million contract. But Grbac struggled in his first season in Baltimore  finishing with 18 interceptions compared to 15 touchdown passes  and the salary-cap-conscious Ravens subsequently asked him to rework his contract.
