Former Bills star linebacker Talley tells paper he suffers from depression, considered suicide
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former Buffalo Bills star linebacker Darryl Talley tells The Buffalo News he is suffering from depression and has contemplated suicide in what he considers to be side-effects from his hard-hitting playing days.
The 54-year-old Talley says in an interview published Thursday that it would be "easy to call it a day." Talley reverses those thoughts by saying his parents didn't raise a coward and he wants to be around for his grandchildren.
Talley says he has memory loss and trouble sleeping.
