Flozell Adams isn’t sure whether he’ll he come back for his 14th season or call it a career.
There was speculation that Adams, the 35-year-old right tackle, would retire if the Steelers won Super Bowl XLV. But in the moments after the 31-25 loss to the Packers, Adams wasn’t in the mood to talk about his future.

“This game just finished so we will worry about next year when the time comes,” he said.

I hope Flozell stays as a backup. Because the way things have gone for the past 3-4 years, you might just end up playing a lot even as a backup.

The Hotel Flo rocks! :rockon: I'd be happy if he stuck it out one more year with us - he did a great job at RT this season, is a total teamer and the coaches and his teammates really seem to love him! :applaudit:

Got a feeling he'll 'most likely' stay than go...

Hope he stays and we can put Colon at RG. And then draft some Olinemen to be backups for a year.

Or he retires and Colon is the RT and either Leg starts at RG or Mike Pouncy does.... :applaudit:

I would love to see this-

Starks - Kemo - Pouncey - Colon - Adams

as our offensive line.

Flozell has had a great career and only one thing would truly complete it....

Love to see him come back.

Any of those line-ups is fine by me as long as someone pulls Kemo aside and tells him if he does anything stupid like taking penalties for diving on the pile 10 seconds after the play or shoving someone in the back when they've already missed the play that we are gonna have to slap him upside the head! lol

I hope he does stay for one more year. I feel he could be a great influence and teacher for the others and a solid back up/starter.

I would love to see the big guy back for one more run at the Super Bowl.
