Seahawks OL Schilling retires at 26

Offensive lineman Stephen Schilling will retire from the NFL despite an offer to play another season for the Seattle Seahawks.

Schilling, 26, said Thursday the decision was “just a personal choice for me at this time in my life.”

The loss of Schilling, who played three seasons for the San Diego Chargers before joining Seattle, hurts the Seahawks’ depth on the offensive line.

Schilling appeared in eight games for Seattle in 2014, starting three times, before he landed on injured reserve in November due to a knee injury. During his time in San Diego, he played 18 games and started twice, both times in 2011.

The Chargers selected Schilling in the sixth round of the 2011 draft out of the University of Michigan.

The early retirement of Schilling continues a trend this offseason. He joins running back Maurice Jones-Drew, 29; outside linebacker Jason Worilds, 27; linebacker Patrick Willis, 30; and quarterback Jake Locker, 26; who all announced they were done playing football.
