SEATTLE (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse has announced his retirement.
Kearse, who posted his decision on social media Tuesday, has not played in a regular season game since 2018 when he was with the Jets. Kearse suffered a broken leg during the 2019 preseason with Detroit.
While he spent two seasons with the Jets, Kearse is best known for his time in Seattle. Kearse, who grew up about an hour south of Seattle and went to college at Washington, became a major contributor during his five seasons with the Seahawks.
