Kansas City Chiefs tackle Ray Willis informed the club on Friday that he has decided to retire from the National Football League.

Willis (6-6, 304) played in 44 games (26 starts) in five NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2005-09). He joined the Chiefs after brief stops with the Miami Dolphins (2011), New Orleans Saints (2011) and the New York Jets (2012).

The Angleton, Texas, native originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick (105th overall) of the Seahawks in the 2005 NFL Draft. Willis was a four-year starter at Florida State University and prepped at Angleton High School in Angleton, Texas.
