Kerrigan was selected by Washington with the 16th pick of the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played with Washington’s franchise for 10 years, before playing his last year with the rival Philadelphia Eagles. He will now sign a one-day contract to officially retire as a Commander.
In 2021 (Kerrigan’s only year with the Eagles), he played in 16 games, starting just two. He only had three solo tackles and recorded no other stats. In four of his 11 seasons, Kerrigan recorded double-digit sacks. He now retires with four Pro Bowl selections under his belt.
