FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ryan Kalil wasn’t done playing football, after all.
The five-time Pro Bowl center snapped out of retirement Thursday and agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the New York Jets.
The 34-year-old Kalil, who started just six games last season for Carolina after dealing with a neck injury, will need to pass a physical Friday before signing his contract with New York.
Financial terms weren’t immediately available. NFL Network reported the deal is worth $8.4 million.
Kalil spoke all last season that it was his final one.
