Ike Taylor Jumps Aboard Retirement Train

This has certainly been a memorable off-season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Not sure it’s been a *good* off-season but it’s certainly been memorable.

It started when long-time defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau was gently but unmistakably booted down to Tennessee. Free agent to be linebacker Jason Worilds then became the first – and most improbable – Steeler to announce his retirement. Troy Polamalu recently followed in an announcement that was far less shocking than it was bittersweet. And now the Black and Gold have lost their Swag.

Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has retired after 12 seasons in the NFL.
