He retired in May 2020 and stayed on the staff as a consultant with the team through the 2021 season.

“For over 40 years, his dependability, dedication, and forward-thinking helped countless players, coaches, and executives connect with their fanbases,” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti stated upon Byrne's retirement. “The contributions he made to the Ravens are everlasting.”

During his tenure with the team, Byrne provided media relations assistance at 25 Super Bowls and two Pro Bowls at the NFL's request.

He also served on the committee to select Super Bowl-winning head coaches Brian Billick and John Harbaugh.
