Vikings' Kelly retires after 10 seasons
Minnesota Vikings center Ryan Kelly is retiring after 10 seasons, he announced Friday.
10 seasons. What an incredible ride it was. I was blessed to be around some of the greatest people this sport has to offer. I always wanted to leave each place better than how I found it and with that I can hang my hat. Forever grateful for my family and brothers! Cheers pic.twitter.com/LzliGJ2wOK

Kelly, 32, suffered multiple concussions during the 2025 campaign and only suited up for eight games.
He played his final season with the Vikings after signing there as a free agent last offseason. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, where he made four Pro Bowls.
Kelly had been an NFL starter since Indianapolis selected him in the first round of the 2016 draft. He racked up 129 starts over his playing career.
