Thomas announced Wednesday that he would retire from the NFL, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old Thomas, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, thus closes out a distinguished career that saw him anchor the Browns' offensive line until this past season, when he ruptured his left triceps tendon on Oct. 22. The stellar left tackle, who opened his career by playing an NFL-record 10,363 consecutive snaps until last season's injury, is clearly a tough act to follow, but in anticipation of Wednesday's news, the Browns are poised to add two tackles (Donald Stephenson and Chris Hubbard) in free agency. Thomas looks like a no-doubt first-ballot Hall of Famer after earning 10 Pro Bowl selections in 11 seasons, including seven first-team All-Pro honors.

Even at 32, Thomas is still one of the best offensive lineman in the game, and the former Badger standout will once again be a key cog to the Browns’ run game. He dealt with a couple of health issues in 2016, so look for Cleveland to rest him during the week to allow him to be fresh on Sundays.

At 30 years old, Thomas is still regarded as one of the best offensive lineman in the league. The eight-time Pro Bowler will once again serve as the starting left tackle this season, securing the blind side of whatever quarterback takes the reigns in Cleveland.

Thomas will serve once again as the starting left tackle for the Browns in 2014. The seven-time Pro-Bowler remains one of the best offensive lineman in the game.

Thomas will start at left tackle and anchor the Browns' unit up front once again in 2013.

Thomas has started every single game of his five-year career and made the Pro Bowl in each season as well. He is widely regarded as one of the best lineman in football, especially when it comes to pass protection, and his presence will be a big aid to the rookie transitions of Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden.

Thomas is considered as one of the premier left tackles in the game and will be the anchor of the Browns' offensive line this season.

The Pro-Bowl left tackle will resume his role in the Browns' offense.

Thomas, the Browns' starting left tackle, had a fantastic rookie season in 2007 which led to a Pro Bowl selection. He is one of the premier left tackles in the league.

Should be the Browns' starting OT. The overall No. 3 pick in the draft is expected to provide instant impact to the Browns' offensive line.
