Steelers announced NT Chris Hoke's retirement.
Hoke's contract was up and he's coming off a neck injury, so the 36-year-old's career was expected to be through. A former undrafted free agent out of BYU, Hoke carved out an eight-year career, registering 52 tackles and two sacks in 114 appearances with 18 starts. Hoke was Casey Hampton's longtime backup.
