Jon Ryan, the former Seahawks punter, has signed a one-day contract to officially retire with the Seattle Seahawks, the team he played for from 2008 to 2018. Ryan, who also owns minor league baseball teams, marked his retirement on Tuesday. His career spanned 19 years, including stints with five different teams across two countries and leagues, but he regards his time with the Seahawks as the highlight of his professional journey.
