Parker announced via his personal Twitter account that he's retiring.
Parker spent his first two seasons in the league between the Seahawks, Raiders and Panthers before signing with the Chiefs in 2013. He spent another year as a reserve before taking over as a starting safety for the next five seasons until he was cut following the 2018 campaign. Parker posted 397 tackles, eight sacks, 48 pass breakups and 11 interceptions in his career.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid says Ron Parker will likely play safety this year.
Safety Ron Parker is headed back to the Chiefs. He’ll sign a 5-year, $30M deal, source said.
Parker was a dominant presence on the Chief defense, switching over to strong safety from his usual position at corner when Eric Berry was lost for the balance of the season. He had 84 solo tackles (94 total) with a sack, one interception and 12 pass deflections. He will be a key part of the Chief defensive backfield for several seasons under his new contract.
Free-agent S Ron Parker visited with the Bears Wednesday.
Parker recorded 94 tackles with one sack and one interception last year for the Chiefs and was a big part of the reason their secondary was so strong. He'll command some big bucks on the open market.
