“Does it make sense for the Steelers to kick the tires on Julian Edelman?” is one headline you won’t be reading in the coming months from Behind the Steel Curtain or any other site.
Why? Because Edelman didn’t just have his contract terminated by the Patriots on Monday following a failed physical; he did everyone a favor by quickly announcing his retirement in a video posted to Twitter.
When I say Edelman did everyone a favor by announcing his retirement, I mean Steelers fans and media members. That’s right, Edelman quickly put those folks out of their misery regarding the possibility of Pittsburgh inking the 34-year old to a deal.
