The Steelers finally have a decision on what's going to happen with Stephon Tuitt in 2022. And it's not the one they wanted.
Tuitt announced his retirement from football on Wednesday, ending any speculation regarding whether he would return following missing the entire 2021 season with a knee injury and while dealing with the loss of his brother, Richard Bartlett, in a still-unsolved hit-and-run incident last June.
"With respect to the Steelers organization, my teammates and coaches, I would like to officially announce that I have come to decision to retire from the NFL," Tuitt wrote in a statement.
