The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have Troy Polamalu in their plans for 2015 and the only question is how he'll make his exit.

The Steelers hope Polamalu decides to retire rather than play for another team.

Polamalu was the anchor of the Steelers' defense for more than a decade, but his play has fallen off as he enters his mid-30s.

Polamalu will count $6 million against the cap.
