Jason Hanson
The NFL's longest-tenured player, Lions kicker Jason Hanson, retired Thursday, April 4, after 21 seasons. Hanson, 42, holds NFL records for games played with one team (327) and 50-yard field goals (52) and is third in league history with 2,150 points and 495 field goals. He's been the Lions' kicker since drafted with a second-round pick in 1992. He preferred to play one more NFL season, but opted to retire after the Lions made him a one-time offer of around $1 million. Hanson made a good showing in 2012, making 32 of 36 kicks. Three of his four misses hit an upright.
