Jon Ryan‘s time with the Seahawks has come to an end. On Monday, the punter took to Twitter to bid farewell to the Seahawks after spending the last ten seasons with the organization. 
“Its been an absolute honor and privilege to play in this great city of Seattle for the past ten years. I never wanted this day to come, but knew it would someday,” Ryan wrote. “Even though I’m leaving, I will always be a Seahawk…I want to thank all of my teammates over the years, Paul Allen, John Schneider, Matt Thomas, and Peter McLoughlin, the amazing coaches I’ve had here: Mike Holmgren, Jim Mora Jr., and Pete Carroll, and the entire support staff at 12 Seahawks Way. But, more than anything, I want thank the 12s. You embraced a pale-skinned, red-headed Canadian with a speech impediment and made him feel like a superstar. I will forever be grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you Seattle.”
Although Ryan is sad to leave Seattle, the writing has been on the wall for some time now. The Seahawks selected fellow punter Michael Dickson in the fifth-round of this year’s draft, so Ryan was unlikely to win the job despite his history with the club and proven abilities as a holder.
Come back to Green Bay!!! Definitely one of Thompsons many mistakes. Only reason he got released because Favre liked him
He won’t be unemployed for long.
If he doesn’t catch on with an NFL team there are two new leagues that will certainly be interested in kickers and punters with past NFL experience.
And he is Canadian. So, he can go home and punt.
