====================================================================================

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars center Mitch Morse announced his retirement at a press conference on Wednesday.

"Throughout my career, I’ve learned and grown alongside the Jaguars and the community," Morse said. "I’m grateful for the incredible experiences and the support I’ve received from the team, fans, and the entire Jacksonville community."

Morse’s team is currently at 10-0 in the AFC, ranking third in the league in rushing yards (260.9) and rushing yards per game (11.7). He was ranked in the Top 10 in the NFL in rushing yards.

Morse was set to retire after 10 seasons and nearly 100 wins. He led the Jaguars in rushing yards (260.9) and rushing yards per game (11.7) last season. He also finished ninth in the league in tackles (33), third in the league in quarterback hits (38), and first in the league in run-blocking yards (413.5).

Morse received a $3.1 million signing bonus for his contract with the Jaguars. He also received a $2 million signing bonus and a $100,000 bonus for the first 10 games of the season. He also received a $50,000 bonus for winning the league’s best rookie award, with the bonus to be paid after the season.

Morse was a free agent from the NFL, and he made his first trip back home after retiring 10 years ago. He was the first of four Jaguars players to have retired in the last 10 years, with Brett Favre in 2003, Blake O’Neill in 2010, and Brett Favre Jr. in 2020. He had spent his last 10 years with the New York Giants.

Morse is the third center to retire in AFC history, following Lou Krause (1964) and Don Shulman (1969). He was the first player to have played in three Super Bowls in a career that spanned more than 50 years.
