Janikowski retiring after 19 seasons

Veteran NFL kicker Sebastian Janikowski is retiring after 19 seasons in the league, he told ESPN, according to Adam Schefter.

The 17th overall pick of the 2000 draft, Janikowski spent his first 18 years with the Oakland Raiders before signing with the Seattle Seahawks for the 2018 season. He hangs up his cleats as the 10th-leading scorer in NFL history (1,913 points). Tom Brady is now the only active player remaining from the 2000 NFL Draft.

Known for his big leg and perhaps even bigger sense of humor, "Seabass" - as he was affectionately known - connected on 80 percent of his field goals.

He matched the then-record for longest field goal made in 2011 by nailing a 63-yarder. Matt Prater set a new record two years later with a 64-yard kick.

The 41-year-old "plans to turn into a cab driver," chauffering his three girls to school, according to Schefter.
