When linebacker Joey Porter went on injured reserve with the Cardinals in December, it seemed like a good bet that his career was over.
Porter confirmed that on Wednesday, telling Ian Rapoport of NFL.com that his knee problems weren’t getting any better and that he couldn’t play at a high enough level to justify extending his career any longer. Porter also told Rapoport that he’s spoken to Steelers brass about signing a one-day contract so he can retire as a member of the team he spent eight years playing for during his career.

He was a good player. He definitely had an attitude though. :P
