PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers now have a clear-cut depth chart at offensive line after the retirement of swing tackle Ryan Harris, who signed a two-year deal with Pittsburgh last offseason.
Harris, a former Super Bowl winner with Denver who was well regarded in the Steelers locker room, told me he's happy in his life right now and wants to pursue the joy he's worked hard to obtain. He walks away after nine seasons in the NFL.
Perhaps the Steelers would have offered tackle Chris Hubbard an original round restricted tender, which they did this week, even if Harris remained with the team.
