July 25 (UPI) -- Cleveland Browns linebacker Jordan Hicks will retire from the NFL after 10 seasons, he announced Friday on Instagram. Hicks signed a two-year deal in 2024.
"After 23 years of playing football, I'm officially retiring from the NFL," Hicks wrote on the social media platform. "Football has given me more than I could have ever imagined. Purpose, discipline, brotherhood and a platform to impact others. But most importantly, it showed me who I am outside the game."
Hicks, 33, entered the league as a third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the NFC East franchise, including its Super Bowl winning 2017-18.
Hicks, who signed an $8 million deal with the Browns last off-season, totaled 78 combined tackles, four passes defensed, four tackles for a loss and two sacks over 12 starts in 2024.
