Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. announced his retirement from the NFL Thursday, April 2 via Instagram.
Walker, 30, played nine seasons in the league, joining the Browns in 2021 and serving as a team captain in the 2022-23 seasons. In 2023, Walker was the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
During his three seasons with the Browns, he recorded 170 tackles and recovered two fumbles. More importantly, he was regarded as an integral leader on the field as well as off.
He joined the Browns after four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He signed three one-year deals in Cleveland. After he left the Browns, Walker spent the past two seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2024) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2025).
In nine seasons in 101 games (83 starts), he recorded 581 tackles, forced two fumbles and recovered four and had four interceptions.
George M. Thomas covers a myriad of things including sports and pop culture, but mostly sports, he thinks, for the Beacon Journal.
