CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – Former Browns center and NFLPA president JC Tretter has called it a career.
Tretter is retiring from the NFL after nine seasons.
The former Packer and Brown announced his retirement on Twitter Thursday morning.
The Browns released Tretter in the spring in a salary cap move that cut over $8.2 million off the cap and opened the door for 2020 fifth-round pick Nick Harris to take over in the middle of the offensive line, but Harris suffered a season-ending knee injury on the second snap of the preseason opener in Jacksonville.
Over five seasons with the Browns, Tretter never missed a snap due to injury and was forced to miss one game in 2021 due to COVID protocols.
As the Players Association president, Tretter has been at the forefront advocating for player safety, including stressing the voluntary nature of the offseason program.
