The Black and Gold retirements keep on coming, as one ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has decided to hang up his cleats at 33 years old.
On Tuesday, 13-year veteran wide receiver Robert Woods announced his decision to retire from football on social media, thanking the Steelers, as well as four other NFL teams he spent time with in his career.
“After 27 unforgettable years of pouring my heart into this game, and 13 incredible years in the NFL — it’s time for me to step away from playing the sport that has given me everything. Football has never just been a game to me — it has been my passion, my purpose, and my lifelong dream," Woods wrote via X. "I cherished every moment my cleats touched the grass. Every time I stepped onto the field, I was determined to leave a piece of myself in every snap. …
“To the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, and Pittsburgh Steelers — thank you for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream at the highest level.”
He also signed a one-day contract to retire as a Ram, where he played from 2017-2021, catching 367 passes for 4,626 yards and 23 touchdowns during his five seasons with Los Angeles.
Woods signed with the Steelers following the 2025 NFL Draft in April but requested and was granted his release in September after he failed to make the 53-man roster.
While his tenure with Pittsburgh was short-lived, we at Steelers Wire wish Woods nothing but success as he navigates life after football.
