Jarret Johnson of the San Diego Chargers, announced his retirement this afternoon. This put an end to his 12 year career.
He wrote the following in an Instagram post:
“Today I am announcing my retirement from the game I love,” Johnson said in a note posted on his Instagram account.
“I lived a dream which few can say but it’s time to move on. I want to thank the Chargers organization for giving me a home these past three years. I have nothing but respect for the players, coaches, front office staff and fans that were a part of me and my family’s lives. It’s been a great ride!”
ESPN.com also reported that Johnson’s most impactful season was the most recent he had with the Chargers:
“He missed one game due to the birth of his daughter, finishing a game short of playing a full, 16-game season for the ninth time in his pro career.
And when Johnson played, he produced. In 523 plays, Johnson ably served as San Diego’s run-stuffing linebacker on the outside, finishing ninth on the team in tackles with 51. He added a sack and a forced fumble.
Johnson was scheduled to make $5 million in base salary in the final year of a four-year deal in 2015. The Chargers will save $5 million in cash and salary cap space with Johnson no longer on the roster.”
