The Seattle Seahawks, perhaps more than any other franchise, have become the final landing spot for a myriad of the game’s greatest players.
The team’s recent acquisition of Greg Olsen, as well as last year’s Josh Gordon experiment, potentially added two more NFL greats to a long list of players who play out their final games in the Emerald City.
I decided to rank the elite NFL players who called it quits while in Seattle. This list does not include lifelong Seahawks, like Steve Largent and Walter Jones, or even Marshawn Lynch – who might have played his final down last season (although with Beast mode, you can never be sure).
Instead, this list will focus on players who spent one year (or in many cases, less than a year) in Seattle to shut the door on their extensive – often Hall of Fame worthy – careers.
