The NFL career of offensive tackle Jon Jansen may have come to an end on Saturday, when he was released by the Detroit Lions.
The 34-year-old Jansen wrote on Twitter that he got cut.
"I was just told by the Lions I'm being cut today," Jansen tweeted. "Needless to say I'm disappointed. I enjoyed playing for my home team and the city of Det."
Jansen grew up in Michigan and played his college football at Michigan, and he has indicated that the Lions were the team he wanted to end his career with. He signed with Detroit in 2009 and started two games, but the Lions have decided to move on, and he probably won't sign elsewhere in 2010.
The Redskins picked Jansen in the second round of the 1999 draft. He started every game in his first five seasons, but he was plagued by injuries later in his career, missing all of 2004 with a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the preseason, and then missing 15 games in 2007 after breaking his ankle in the regular-season opener.
As a smart, well-spoken player, Jansen would be a natural fit for a transition into TV.
