TE Greg Olsen retires from NFL, will join Fox Sports as broadcaster

Tight end Greg Olsen announced his retirement from the NFL after 14 seasons on Sunday.

"After 14 years of playing in this league ... proud of what I was able to accomplish, proud of the relationships, everything that the game has given me, but sometimes when it's time, it's time," Olsen said on Fox Sports' pregame show for the NFC Championship Game.

Olsen, 35, will be joining Fox in the broadcast booth for NFL games next season.

He played for the Seattle Seahawks this season, finishing with 24 catches for 239 yards and a touchdown in 11 games.
