HISTORICAL FACTS: K j wright signs one day contract to retire with seahawks - Caught on Camera

K.J. Wright is signing a one-day contract with the Seattle Seahawks and will retire with his former team. A fourth-round draft pick in 2011, Wright became an integral if underrated part of their all-time great defensive units.

Wright went on to play 144 games in a Seahawks uniform for the next 10 years, racking up 941 combined tackles, a Pro Bowl appearance and one Super Bowl victory. He spent the 2021 NFL season playing for the Raiders. His former position has been taken by 2020 first-round draft pick Jordyn Brooks.

Wright is the second Seattle legend to retire in as many days. Running back Chris Carson was also forced to retire yesterday due to a neck injury.
