Longtime Pittsburgh Steelers talent William Gay took to social media to drop some news and let the world know he's no longer with the storied NFL franchise.

On Instagram, Gay wrote the following:

One hell of a ride in the City of Champions….. loved every moment👌 next chapter… will be ready for 2018 season!!! Want a chance to hoist the trophy one more time…. I played all positions and football IQ, leadership, and teammate skills are Great 👍🏽… looking forward to being on a new team 👀 #bigplaywillgay #williamclowninwednesday #pick6 #ironman #nevermissAgame

Gay has spent 10 of his 11 years in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As for Pittsburgh, this move was done to clear up some cap space. Releasing Gay, who played just over 27 percent of the defensive snaps last season, clears $1.75 million from the franchise's spreadsheets.

A former fifth-round NFL Draft pick by the Steelers all the way back in 2007, the lone season he didn't play for the Steelers was in 2012 when Gay played a single year for the Arizona Cardinals.

At 33-years-old, it will be interesting to see what Gay can demand on the open market. A veteran, even if he can no longer play at as high a level as he used to, he could be brought in to mentor young players.
