The Pittsburgh Steelers 36-year-old linebacker isn’t hanging them up just yet
Last year when James Harrison announced his retirement, many thought the linebacker was done for good. However, Harrison decided to give it another go and returned for the 2014 season. Harrison and the Steelers returned to the playoffs, but ultimately fell in the Wild Card Round to the Baltimore Ravens.

Now Harrison is letting everyone know that he isn’t ready to hang it up yet.
Harrison who trains in Arizona in the offseason, has let his intentions be known that he intends to return to Arizona to train and prepare for the 2015 season, whether that be with the Steelers or someone else.
In an Instagram post, Harrison posted a picture of an open suitcase with his stuff ready to go.
Harrison had 45 tackles for the Steelers in 2014. He ranked third on the team with 5.5 sacks in the 11 games that he played. While his performance on the field has declined with age, he is a valuable addition the team with veteran leadership and is a fan favorite in Pittsburgh.
If he doesn’t return to Pittsburgh, could he follow his defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to Tennessee? Free agency begins in just a few weeks, and it will be interesting to see where the linebacker ends up.
