Taking to Instagram, the Jaguars' official account broke the news and shared a small write-up by Morse. It was an emotional message about what he will miss most — his teammates.

"The things I’ll remember and cherish most about my career are the relationships and bonds I created with my teammates, both on and off the field. Nothing can replace that, and I will miss it dearly,” he wrote.

Continuing, Morse showed gratitude to his teams.

"I want to thank the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars for ten unforgettable seasons," he said.

He also thanked his wife, Caitlin, and their children, Kennedy and Deacon, for always supporting him.
