Patriots’ 2-time Super Bowl champion announces retirement

Former New England Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan is calling it a career.

Ryan announced his retirement from playing in the NFL on Tuesday.

“I am officially retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons,” Ryan said in a video posted to social media on Tuesday. “Man, what a great career. What a ride it was. Beautiful journey of highs and lows, like they always are. Shoutout to my friends, my family, my teammates and all those who supported me. Man, I try to play the right way. I tried to play my hardest at all times.”

Ryan, 33, also gave thanks to the Patriots and the other four teams he played for in the NFL in his retirement announcement.

“Shout out to the New England Patriots,” Ryan said. “Thank you for drafting me, believing in me, making me a two-time Super Bowl champion. Thank you to the Tennessee Titans for bringing me down there, becoming a franchise player and honestly supporting RARF. My animal foundation was birthed there and you guys took that in and we did so much on and off the field with playoff runs. The New York Giants, bringing me back home to New Jersey during the COVID years and literally saving my wife’s life, thank you so much to the training staff and organization for saving my wife, Ashley.

“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, found my forever home here. My kids are raised and growing up in Florida. They have stability, which meant so much to me as a father. Finally, the San Francisco 49ers for bringing me off the cruise last season, joining a great organization and coaching staff and a great locker room and going on the run we had.”
