[JLova]

He used to take a lot of big hits.

And still hold on to that pill

fukk him

what that cap hit looking like though

The impact Heath Miller's retirement will have on the Steelers salary cap space

What opens up for the future in Pittsburgh is cap space. $4 million will open up for usage in 2016 due to Miller's retirement, something that the Steelers will most certainly use to lock up some of their young stars. Miller would have created a cap hit of $7,181,668 in 2016. The $4 million in cap space that opens up from his retirement was his base salary, while the extra $3,181,668 will still be paid to Miller in the form of prorated earnings, and exist as "dead money" for the next season on Pittsburgh's roster.

You knew what time it was on 3rd and 6. 1 on 1 with the linebacker in space.....automatic first down. Those fukkin towels were twirling before the ball was even snapped.

Good, fucc him.

No disrespect.

Neg pending further statement

Heath knew how to find a soft spot in a zone defense and sit his ass down. He will never out run anyone. . But dude was reliable as hell.

HEAAATTTHHHHHHHHHHH. He made plays and was never about the flash.

Was he flabby? He's only 33, but I guess those big hits over time got to him.

I remember when the Steelers drafted him and then they won the SB vs Seattle. Huge for Ben's development

Better to get out early than to keep hanging on. Wasn't really beating coverage like he used to imo. Great player for us though on the field and in the locker room:sadmjgreene:

def a stan up dude

I just hope in 7 years we don't hear about him having life time injuries

Pretty sure he caught over 50 passes last seasons and I know for a fact he put in work while blocking. He could have still played at least another season and been productive... but he was ready to hang em up. He has dealt with a lot of injuries through his career

33 is old tho.

Big ups to Heath a UVA product who I have enjoyed watching over the years. In a different offense he would have put up better numbers but he retires respected and with 2 rings. Not many players can say that.
