Kerrigan, who turns 34 next month, played for a decade in the
nation's capital (2011-20) before spending the 2021 season with
the Philadelphia Eagles.
A first-round pick in 2011, he earned four Pro Bowl selections,
collected 95.5 sacks and started 139 consecutive games with
Washington.
"While I'm thankful for the amazing times and memories I was
able to have as a player, I'm equally thankful to now have the
wisdom and courage to walk away," Kerrigan said in a statement.
"We all eventually come to the end of our playing days, and that
time is now for me."
Kerrigan leaves the game with 457 tackles (120 for losses), 149
quarterback hits, 95.5 sacks, 26 forced fumbles and three
interceptions (all returned for touchdowns) in 172 games (143
starts) with Washington and Philadelphia.
