    Steelers TE Vance McDonald Announces Retirement

    Now, after completing his eighth season in the NFL, McDonald will be focused on just two of those - faith and family - as he is retiring from the NFL.


    "My family and I are so grateful for everything NFL football has provided us in our life-all the memories both good and the difficult, the relationships and friends we've made along the way, the life lessons the game provided both me and my loved ones," said McDonald. "It's always been our dream and mission to leverage the platform given us through the NFL to help serve and uplift others along the way, and we will continue to find ways to serve others as we begin this next chapter of our lives. I am proud to retire a Steeler."

    I'll be happy with either, no need for a QB this year.

    I'm sure we could find a servicable TE somewhere in the 5th round... again.

    They can get a much cheaper and better player in the draft.

    I liked the signing when it occurred. Everyone was hoping for a repeat of his 13 TD season. But, man alive!!! that guy chirps way too much. And, obviously, the DROPS are the biggest issue.

    Pat Freiermuth
    Brevin Jordan
    Hunter Long
    Any one of those three could easily replace Ebron on the depth chart.

    Couldn't you just pretend you are happy for the guy and thank him for his contributions?

    I've had it with inner tube patching at this position. There is no inner tube left, it's all patches!

    We're gonna miss that play you made that one time. Kidding aside, wish he could have stayed healthy enough to actually play the position.
