We have already heard a number of times this offseason that Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey was contemplating retirement, according to a variety of reports, none of them formal or official. Some have gone so far as to say that it was likely that he would retire, but none of these ever in any way came from the team.
The closest that we have come to a formal acknowledgement of this was when team president Art Rooney II spoke to the media and, referring to Vance McDonald’s retirement, referred to another anonymous player in saying that somebody else might have an announcement coming up.
