OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Jonathan Ogden will announce his retirement Thursday, ending a stellar career with the Baltimore Ravens in which the left offensive tackle garnered 11 Pro Bowl invitations and a Super Bowl ring.

Ogden, who turns 34 next month, told friends he won't return for a 13th season. The 6-foot-9, 345-pounder has been bothered by an hyperextended toe since December 2006.

Ogden arrived at the team's training complex Wednesday to confirm his decision and solidify plans for a news conference Thursday morning.

So long, JO. You will be missed in Ravens-town.

Not a good look for our O-Line. Next stop Hall of Fame.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually, and it's probably best he left before injuries forced him to. He had a great career as one of the all-time greats, and I'm sad to see him go. Especially considering how awful our O-Line will be without him. Actually, that goes beyond sad.
