Former Browns defensive tackle Malik Jackson announces his retirement

Long-time defensive tackle Malik Jackson has called it a career after ten years in the NFL. Jackson, of course, spent the 2021 season with the Cleveland Browns as they paired him with Malik McDowell along their interior. He racked up two tackles for loss, seven hits on the quarterback, and a half of a sack that year in the brown and orange.

Jackson started his career with the Denver Broncos before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons before coming to Cleveland as well.

He had this to say on Good Morning Football earlier this week:

“That was the goal. 10 to 12 years was my goal… I was able to get to a point where I was doing OK. I was doing pretty well for myself. I did enough. I have a daughter, and I need to go home and be with her and start living life.”

Enjoy retirement, Malik!
