Three-Time Pro Bowl Punter Brett Kern Announces Retirement

Brett Kern’s 15 year run in the NFL is now over.

Kern, a three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro punter, announced his retirement from the National Football League on Thursday morning.

“It’s been hard,” Kern explained, “It’s also brought back a lot of memories, too. You want to be able to thank a ton of people who helped you over the years, and all the memories from games, from teammates and coaches, conversations in the locker rooms, and road trips.”

The 37-year old was regarded as one of the NFL’s best punters for a long time. He was claimed by the Tennessee Titans in 2008 and spent 13 seasons with them. Kern spent one season with the Eagles in 2022, and one with the Denver Broncos in 2008.

The Titans have a press conference scheduled for 1pm EST on Thursday for Kern to officially announce his retirement.

“I want to congratulate Brett on an amazing NFL career,” Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said “He was a true professional and one of the important players who helped our organization reach the level of success that we have sustained for a number of years now. After being named to three Pro Bowls, receiving All-Pro honors and setting record after record, he would be on a very short list of the best waiver claims our organization has ever made.
