#50 is giving his official retirement press conference right now on .com He's rightfully very emotional.

It's over now. Very emotional. Lots of thanking coaches, staff, teammates, but one thing of note, is he said that he would like to work in the organization in whatever capacity that they'd have him in, but not this year. He wants to take some time to be with his family for now.

Not sure how long it takes, but they should have it archived and up for people to watch at their leisure later today.

Beautiful job by KJ. Loved what he said about all the people in the organization. As fans, it's easy to take success for granted, but it doesn't come easy - and it's damned hard to keep going. It takes a LOT of people and some luck along the way.

We've been lucky to have guys like KJ play for the Hawks. I'm going to miss seeing him on the field. He's a heck of a player and a really good man.

I caught a 40 second clip but hopefully, the Seahawks will post more on Seahawk News.

Classy guy, thank you KJ, you've left us with some great memories!

He did make a point of it to say NOT in a coaching capacity which was kind of interesting.

It was a very emotional press conference. I loved what he said about the importance to him of being a good person to everyone and share love to all who crossed his path. Here's a man who gets it. Sure, accolades are fun, being congratulated by your peers for a job well done is wonderful, winning is great and all that but at the end of the day what matters the most is being a decent human being with love in your heart for all you come in contact with.

Didn't have enough good things to say about KNJ & how he helped him become the best LB an person he could possibly be.
