The Seattle Seahawks signed punter Jon Ryan to a one-day contract so that he could retire from football as a member of the organization that he played 10 of his 12 seasons for in the NFL.
Ryan, 42, played for the Seahawks from 2008-2017, which included being a part of the Super Bowl XLVIII victory over the Denver Broncos in 2013. When he was released by Seattle after the 2017 season, Ryan held most of the team's career punting records, including punts , yards , and punts downed inside the 20-yard line . He also held the record for career average and net punting average , both of which have currently been surpassed by Michael Dickson through his first five years in the NFL .
After two years with the Packers, Ryan signed with the Seahawks and spent the next decade punting throughout the most successful stretch in team history.One of Ryan's most memorable moments in Seattle didn't come throughout punting the ball, however.
