Troy Polamalu’s likely departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers shouldn’t be a surprise
When I was a tiny little Steelers fan in the early 80s, I learned of the retirement of Mean Joe Greene by watching a feature about it on NFL Films, which meant that I probably learned about it many weeks or even months later. In ensuing years, I would hear little news blurbs about the departures of other legends such Lynn Swann, Jack Ham and Mel Bount, and I would quickly process...

Troy Polamalu on the fence about retiring, playing in 2015
What we know now for sure is that the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have plans to include safety Troy Polamalu in 2015 plans, which means he's either shown the door or leaves on his own accord.
The hope is that he retires, but that's completely up to Troy, who reportedly hasn't made up his mind just yet.
“Troy is still determining whether he wants to retire or try and play in...
Steelers 2014 Player Exit Meetings – ILB Jordan Zumwalt
End-of-season player exit meetings are not something that we are often privy to as outsiders of the football world.

Source: Polamalu Had Issues With Tomlin
No one can blame Troy Polamalu if he wants to keep playing. Football has been the center of his life since he was a child but now he and the Pittsburgh Steelers are at a crossroads and from what I’m hearing, a solution isn’t going to be pretty.
A source familiar with the Polamalu situation told me that the future Hall of Fame safety grew more and more upset with Head Coach Mike...

Stevan Ridley
View image
| gettyimages.com If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to lighten to load on Bell substantially in 2015, Stevan Ridley might be a decent option. He has had his fair share of turnover issues, but maybe in a lighter role, and under new coaches, in Mike Tomlin and Todd Haley, the issues would subside. Ridley and Bell would be an excellent one-two punch...

Nobody’s safe in the NFL and nothing is sacred
Part of the reason that the signing of Josh McCown was such big news in Cleveland is because it meant the end of Brian Hoyer. As a player, there’s nothing worth talking about with Brian. Even as I’ve supported him as a player, I only did so while acknowledging that in a given year, he could be, at best, a mediocre quarterback. For other fans it went deeper because Brian Hoyer...

Steelers in uncomfortable 'elephant in the room' position with Troy Polamalu
According to CBS Local, the Steelers would like to avoid the difficult position of having to release all-time great safety Troy Polamalu.
The team would like Polamalu to decide on his own to retire and not be forced to cut the future Hall of Famer.
