Jason Worilds has decided to retire from the NFL at the age of 27. 

Worilds was a second round pick out of Virginia Tech by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Worilds played last season under the $9.754 million franchise tender. Worilds is likely walking away from at least $15 million in guaranteed money.

Worilds had 7.5 sacks last season and had a lot of interest in free agency.
