Whelan has clocked up over 600 league appearances, including 156 for the Owls, in a senior career that began in 2004.
It is not yet known whether Whelan will carry on playing.
Also departing are former Blades Paul Coutts and Mark Duffy.
Coutts, whose career at Bramall Lane was cruelly stunted by a serious injury picked up in a match against Burton, joined the Cod Army in 2019 as United were heading to the Premier League. He made 67 appearances in all and also had a loan spell at Salford while at Highbury, playing 18 times for them.

He joined Stoke City in the Championship on loan but failed to reach the heights of his time at Bramall Lane.
A move to Holland with ADO Den Haag, also on loan, came after that before the Liverpudlian joined Fleetwood. Duffy made 31 appearances there, scoring twice.
