It has been a roller coaster offseason for Steelers linebacker Vince Williams. After being released by the Steelers as a cap casualty in March prior to the start of the 2021 league year, Williams signed back with the Steelers in mid April. But on the day players reported back to the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex to kick off 2021 training camp, Vince Williams has announced his retirement from the NFL.
In his eight seasons in Pittsburgh, Williams appeared in 121 regular-season games with 69 starts. Starting 11 games as a rookie for an injured Larry Foote, Williams did not become a regular starter again until his fifth season in Pittsburgh.
