Ravens RG Kevin Zeitler silences retirement talk

Baltimore Ravens starting right guard Kevin Zeitler isn’t ready to step away from the game just yet.

Talk was raised of a potential retirement for Zeitler after his absence from organized team activities.

The 33-year-old ended that conversation upon his return for minicamp on Thursday.

“When you’re in a place this good, you’d love to finish out your career here. I have no intention of stopping anytime soon,” Zeitler said. “Not coming to OTAs for the first time kind of made it really clear (that) I still need this game, I love this game and I want to play this game. I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.”

Zeitler has started 166 of the 167 career games in which he has played with the Cincinnati Bengals (2012-16), Cleveland Browns (2017-18), New York Giants (2019-20) and Ravens.

He is entering the final season of his three-year contract with the Ravens.

“When I’m here with my teammates, I owe it to them to work hard every day and do whatever we can to try to get this team a Super Bowl,” Zeitler said.
