The Panthers say two-time All-Pro center Ryan Kalil plans to retire after the 2018 season when his contract expires.

Panthers spokesman Steven Drummond confirmed the news on Tuesday.

Kalil becomes the second long-time Panthers player to announce he is retiring after next season. Outside linebacker Thomas Davis told NFL.com earlier this month the 2018 season will be his last.

Kalil , who turns 33 in March, was plagued by neck and shoulder injuries the last two seasons that limited him to 14 games. He had hoped to play more after the Panthers signed his younger brother Matt Kalil to play left tackle last offseason.

Kalil has started 129 games during his 11 seasons with the Panthers and been to five Pro Bowls. He was named All-Pro in 2013 and 2015.

The Panthers will interview Marty Hurney, Jimmy Raye III and Lake Dawson for the team’s general manager position.

Panthers team spokesman Steven Drummond says all three candidates will interview this week. Drummond said new chief operating officer Tina Becker is leading the search.

Hurney is currently the Panthers interim GM, but his contract expires June 30.

Raye is the vice president of the football operations and assistant GM with the Houston Texans. Dawson , a former NFL wide receiver, is the assistant director of college scouting with the Buffalo Bills. If either Raye or Dawson is hired, he would be the organization’s first minority general manager.

Hurney, who previously worked for Carolina from 1998-2012 in a stint that included 11 years as general manager , is considered the frontrunner for the job.
