Jaren Hall Walks Away From Football at 28, His Seahawks Chapter Never Took Off

Jaren Hall is done. The former Seahawks quarterback announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday through an Instagram post, ending his professional football career just a little more than three years after the fifth round drafted him. At 28 years old, Hall is closing the book on his time in the league.

A Brief NFL Journey

Hall's playing days in the NFL were sparse. His last regular season appearance came way back in 2023 when he suited up for the Minnesota Vikings, playing in three games and starting two of them. In those games, he completed 13 of 20 passes for 168 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. As a starter, he went 1-1.

The Seahawks connection? Hall never actually took the field in a regular season game wearing green and blue. He spent part of the 2024 campaign on Seattle's practice squad before the team promoted him multiple times in December 2024 to serve as the emergency QB3. The Seahawks released Hall on April 29, 2025, which turned out to be the last time he appeared on any NFL roster.

Grateful and Moving Forward

In his retirement announcement, Hall kept things classy and reflective. "What I'll carry most isn't the milestones, but the people , teammates, coaches, family, and a community that supported me every step of the way," he wrote. "My heart is full as I close this chapter and finish my football career. I'm thankful to everyone who's been part of the journey. The game has given me more than I could ever give back."

It's a humble way to exit after a journey that never quite materialized into the career he probably envisioned when he heard his name called on draft day. Hall's time in Seattle was peripheral, but it was part of his story.
