Veteran cornerback Jonathan Joseph has announced his retirement. Joseph was a former first round draft selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006. Since then, he played for three other teams over his 15-year career.
Joseph announced his retirement via his Twitter account on Thursday afternoon.
Today I retire from the NFL.
In the summer of 2006, I signed my first NFL contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. Fifteen years later, I can say I accomplished my childhood goal of making it to the NFL. I will never forget as a kid telling my father I wanted to be in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/v29OIiziwY
