Mike Tomlin Believes Markus Golden ‘Probably Made The Best Decision’ By Retiring

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have dropped their first preseason game, but the worst loss they may have suffered today was the retirement of edge rusher Markus Golden. Golden was just brought back to the Steelers recently after spending 2023 with them. Last year, he was productive in his role as a backup to T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, and it seemed like he would continue to do that this year. However, he decided to retire after only spending a few days with the team in training camp. Mike Tomlin didn’t have much to add on the matter, but he seems to feel it was the best decision for Golden.
