Matt Hasselbeck’s stint as unemployed lasted a manner of minutes.

The 18-year NFL veteran announced he his retirement from the league and his new job as an analyst at ESPN on Wednesday. According to the network, he will be part of Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown.

“The exceptional opportunity presented to me by ESPN accelerated my decision to retire from playing football,” he said in a statement. “I’m excited for the chance to give everything I have to this new endeavor and share the knowledge I have with our viewers.”

The move doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Earlier this month, after it became apparent the Colts were not interested in the veteran quarterback, he tweeted farewell to Indianapolis. “Amazing experience w/ Colts. My family & I are grateful to you Indianapolis. Many great friends, you will be missed!” he wrote.

Hasselbeck’s brother, Tim, is a longtime analyst on the network as well.
