Ramon Foster On Decision To Retire: ‘It Was Pittsburgh Or Nowhere For Me’

This might be old news by now, but Ramon Foster retired. In fact, it’s getting on two weeks ago since the 34-year old announced that he was at the end of the line as far as his career goes, spending all 11 seasons in the NFL with the team who originally signed him as a college free agent, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

And that’s how he wanted to go out, as he told The Fan shortly after he announced that he would be retiring last week. In his comments, he seemed to indicate that it may not have been entirely his decision (he did sign a two-year contract last offseason), but when the reality set in that he wouldn’t be playing in Pittsburgh in 2020, there was no other choice.
