For his career, Green had 28,475 passing yards, 162 touchdowns, 114 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 86.
After leaving the Chiefs, Green played with the Miami Dolphins in 2007 and the St. Louis Rams last year.
As told to Fox Sports, Green said: “I feel this is finally the right time. I’ve talked about it with (my family) for a while, especially with the concussions over the last few years. We all felt it was the time to do it.”
