Brett Kern announced his retirement after 15 NFL seasons on Thursday. He was a member of the Titans for 13 of those seasons and he made his announcement through the team while recounting the difficulty he faced with officially drawing the curtain on his career.
Kern won the Broncos punting job in 2008 as an undrafted free agent, but moved on to Tennessee as a waiver claim in October 2009. He remained with the Titans through 2021 and appeared in six games for the Eagles last season. Two of those appearances came in playoff wins, but Kern did not play in the Super Bowl as Arryn Siposs handled punting duties — and helped set up a key Kadarius Toney return with a poor kick — after coming off of injured reserve.
