ESPN Report: Pittsburgh Steelers Will Not Keep Hines Ward (Video)


From ESPN:

The Pittsburgh Steelers, with a Hines Ward roster-bonus deadline fast approaching, have decided not to keep the veteran receiver, the NFL Network has reported, citing unnamed sources.

Ward, who lost his starting job in 2011, was scheduled to make $4 million in the last two years of his contract but has said he was willing to take a pay cut.

"I don’t normally like to respond to rumors, but as I’ve said all along, I want to finish my career with the Pittsburgh Steelers," Ward posted.

If this is true, I’m very disappointed and will miss his game — and his smile. What a great player.
