From the sounds of it, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran offensive lineman Ramon Foster knows pretty much that the 2018 season is going to be his last with the team. In his 10th season, at the age of 32, playing on the final year of a low-value contract, and on a roster with two younger capable players at his position, and watching each of his younger fellow linemen get paid, he fully intends to take advantage of the open market in 2019.
And perhaps one of the reasons he is committed to doing that during his third opportunity to his unrestricted free agency—bypassing doing so the first two times—is because he realized just how close he came this summer to not playing again.
