Pittsburgh Steelers: James Harrison retires after 15 seasons

A year ago, the Steel City was rooting for their aging veteran to pound out one more season and hang up the cleats in the locker room he established himself in. But after a controversial ending, James Harrison is calling it a career in Foxborough, and you can bet no Steelers fans will be attending his retirement party.

On Monday, April 16, Harrison announced on Instagram that he’s retiring for the second and final time. After 15 seasons, nine of which were spent in Pittsburgh, Harrison is looking to spend more time with his kids than on a field.
