Jordan Devey, Former NFL Super Bowl Champion, Dies at 38
Former NFL offensive lineman Jordan Devey died by suicide on July 21, 2026 at age 38. His wife Linsey Devey announced the death on social media, noting it would have been their 15th wedding anniversary and mourning the loss of their four children’s father.
Devey entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2013, signing with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the New England Patriots, where he won Super Bowl XLIX in the 2014 season. Over a seven‑year career he played for five teams, appeared in 44 regular‑season games and started 21 of them. After retiring he coached at Eagle High School in Idaho. A GoFundMe campaign created for his family raised more than $90,000 toward a $200,000 goal. His mother Leslie said the family believes chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) contributed to his death.
