The good news is the saddle clot was caught and surgery was successful and Price can be as healthy as possible now.
With Cowboys in 2023, player retires due to 'terrifying' blood clot

The Dallas Cowboys are an organization that tends to support their own through thick and thin, so surely thoughts are with a player who spent just a single season with them. Billy Price, originally drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals out of Ohio State, announced his retirement this past weekend after a scary medical situation.
Price announced his retirement via Instagram, due to needing to be on blood thinners following blood clot surgery in late April.
In the blink of an eye, everything can be taken away. On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs. As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today. Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk.
