All-Pro Center Corey Linsley Retires from NFL

Former Chargers Standout Announces End of Career

LOS ANGELES (August 2, 2023) - Former All-Pro center Corey Linsley has announced his retirement from the National Football League (NFL). The Los Angeles Chargers released Linsley on Wednesday, and the 31-year-old is expected to hang up his cleats after a decade-long career.

A Distinguished Career

Linsley was a three-year team captain for the Chargers and was selected to the NFL's Top 100 players list following the 2022 season. He was also named an All-Pro in 2017 while with the Green Bay Packers. Linsley played a key role in the Chargers' success over the past three seasons, helping anchor an offensive line that paved the way for one of the NFL's most prolific offenses.

Retirement Decision

While Linsley's retirement comes as a surprise to some, the former All-Pro has indicated that he is ready to move on to the next chapter in his life. Sources close to Linsley say he is considering a career in broadcasting or coaching.

The Chargers thanked Linsley for his contributions to the team in a statement released Wednesday. "Corey has been a valuable member of our team, both on and off the field," said Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco. "We wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
