Glad he retired a Steeler but how cheap they've been with their vets past few years has been annoying. Im pretty sure Ward, Farrior and Polamalu have been forced to retire for loyalty reasons (rather than going to another team) despite wanting to play a next season. I know it is relative to cap space but seems shitty regardless.

It's a smart front office move though. The reason we were so successful on defense over the past few years was because we had a guy like Polamalu who could play the pass, and come all the way up on the line and play the run. It kept other teams honest. Once he started getting head and knee injuries and playing like a shell of himself, he didn't fit the defensive scheme anymore. Can't pay a player superstar money if his fit on the defense is becoming a liability.

Steelers have to make some moves to get that defense back together again, but they usually cut players at exactly the right time. Polamalu, Wallace, Porter, etc.
