Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce announced his retirement Wednesday after nine seasons in the NFL.
Pierce made the announcement on the “Sports Spectrum” podcast.
Pierce, 32, finishes with 238 tackles, 9.5 sacks, six fumble recoveries and 25 quarterback hits in 99 career games (59 starts) for the Ravens (2016-19; 2022-24) and Minnesota Vikings (2021). He played in 11 games (one start) last season, recording his first career interception in Week 18, his final regular season game.
The Ravens signed Pierce as an undrafted free agent out of Samford in May 2016 and he went on to play in 16 games (one start) in his rookie season. He made more than $27 million in his nine-year career.
The Ravens will incur a dead cap hit of $2 million in 2025, according to Spotrac.
