Former Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck announced his retirement Wednesday after 18 seasons in the NFL. He also said he will be joining ESPN as an NFL analayst.
A three-time Pro Bowler who spent his final three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Hasselbeck will be part of the Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown shows.
"As a kid, playing in the NFL was always my dream and it turned out to be way more fun than I could've ever imagined," said Hasselbeck in an ESPN press release. "Throughout 18 incredible seasons, I had the chance to forge many relationships with teammates, coaches and staff that I will cherish forever. Those relationships made my playing career all the more memorable. With the support of my family, we've made the decision to embark on the next chapter. I'm extremely thankful for the opportunity to have represented the NFL and so many great teams."
Hasselbeck started his career with the Green Bay Packers (1998-2000) before being traded to Seattle in 2001. He led the Seahawks to six playoff appearances and an appearance in Super Bowl XL. His best season came in 2007 when he set career highs in multiple categories, including passing yards (3,966) and touchdowns (28).
After 10 seasons with Seattle, Hasselbeck played mostly as a backup for the Tennessee Titans (2011-12) and Colts (2013-15). He threw for 36,638 yards in his career, completing 60 percent of his passes with 212 touchdowns.
Hasselbeck's 11 postseason starts at a quarterback rank 16th all-time in NFL history and he still holds many Seahawks franchise records.
