Linebacker Brian Orakpo is done playing in the NFL.

Orakpo hung it up on Monday after 10 years in the league. He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times during his career and spent time playing for both the Redskins and the Titans.

Orakpo had a great career, and there’s no other way to say it. He was a star on the field, and he made some serious cash during his time in the league. (RELATED: Here Are The Best Moments From Week 17 Of The NFL Season)

There aren’t too many guys in the league that get to experience the kind of success Orakpo did and to make the kind of money he did during a decade-long run.

Now, it’s time for him to kick back in retirement and enjoy a few beers. He had a great run for the Redskins and the Titans.
