5-Time Pro Bowl Center Kalil Comes Out Of Retirement, Signs 1-Year Deal With Jets

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.
