Journeyman QB Taylor Heinicke retires after 7 NFL seasons and some memorable moments with Washington
Journeyman quarterback Taylor Heinicke, whose unusual path to the NFL helped him become a fan favorite in Washington, has retired from the league. The 33-year-old Heinicke posted a goodbye message on social media in which he thanked supporters from his seven NFL seasons. He also spent time with Minnesota, New England, Houston, Carolina, Atlanta and the Los Angeles Chargers. He was best known for his Washington tenure, which started with him getting signed to the practice squad in December 2020 as an emergency quarterback. He ended up starting for Washington a month after his arrival and threw for 306 yards and a touchdown in a playoff loss to Tampa Bay.
