The Steelers former shutdown corner, Ike Taylor, hung up the cleats for good in an announcement earlier in the week.
The build up to that decision was nowhere built up the way that Troy Polamalu‘s decision came about. But, much like Troy’s, Ike went out with class and dignity.
Taylor did not want to play for any other team than the Steelers and feels he went out the right way.
I wasn’t cut, I wasn’t released. It was just my contract was up and it was time to retire.
