Kicker Morten Andersen, the NFL's career-leading scorer, is retiring from American football because of knee problems.
The 48-year-old Dane, who scored 2,437 points during his 25-year career, played for the Atlanta Falcons the last two seasons but wasn't able to get a contract this year. Andersen said Monday he has given up his search and his NFL career.
"I realized I no longer can train in an optimal way because of my knees," Andersen told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
