Chris Long Announces Retirement After 11 Years in NFL

Eagles defensive lineman Chris Long is ending his NFL career after 11 seasons in the league.

Long announced his retirement on Twitter on Saturday night and included a picture of a red Solo cup and mountain landscape with the post.

"Cheers. Been a hell of a journey. Eleven years and I can honestly say I put my soul into every minute of it," Long said. "Highs and lows. I’ve seen them both and I appreciate the perspective. Gratitude and love to those who lifted me up."

Long spent the past two seasons with the Eagles and was a notable member of Philadelphia's 2018 Super Bowl-winning team.
