“Calling it a career. Capping it off with @budlight” and another ring,” he wrote in the caption.

The Chiefs’ Instagram account was among those that congratulated Henne.
“Congratulations on an incredible career. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us,” the team wrote.
Henne was a standout at Michigan before he turned pro. The Miami Dolphins selected him with the No. 57 pick of the 2008 draft in the second round. He first served as a backup to Chad Pennington during his rookie year and then was thrust into the starting role once Pennington was injured in 2009.
He started 31 games for the Dolphins before he moved on to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played from 2012 to 2017. He started 22 games for the Jaguars.
