Shayne Graham NFL retirement comes with nod to his Bengals days

The Bengals today are assisting former K Shayne Graham in sending a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, declaring that Graham is ceremonially “retiring as a Bengal.” Graham kicked in the NFL for 16 seasons (2001-15), playing for multiple teams, but his term with Cincinnati (2003-09) stands as significantly his longest with one team.

Graham is Cincinnati’s career leader in field goal percentage at 86.76, having made 177 of 204 attempts. He also holds club records for highest FG percentage in a season (91.18 in 2007) and consecutive FGs made (21 in ’07). His 779 points as a Bengal rank second behind Jim Breech (1151).
