The Steelers Are Going to Release Hines Ward
Hines Ward will be cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers according to a report by the NFL Network. Ward, who recently had ankle surgery, said during Super Bowl week that he wanted to return to the Steelers next year and wasn’t ready to retire.
Ward only started 9 games last season and caught just 46 passes – his lowest total in more than a decade. The Super Bowl MVP has played his entire 14 year career in Pittsburgh and he was a member of the teams that won the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2008.
Ward was selected in the third round of the 1998 draft. A 4-time Pro Bowler, Ward missed just 7 games in 14 years. With exactly 1000 receptions, Ward is #8 on the all-time reception list. He is the Steelers all-time leading receiver and he won Season 12 of Dancing With The Stars.

as a Pitt fan, it’s sad to see him go but it’s time. I’ll be wearing the 86 jersey long past it’s arrival on the ring of honor and long past its arrival to Canton.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:00 PM
and he won Season 12 of Dancing With The Stars.
That made him a lock for the HoF.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
Great career, yet still the most arrogant and smug dickface to put on cleats.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Its been real.
I look forward to people complaining about his HOF nomination.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
The fact that he’s half Korean really bolsters (h/t JMac) his candidacy, I think.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:07 PM
I’ll moderate you
February 11th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
I was moderated first.

Someone moderate this bro.

IDGAF if Hines Ward was “dirty”, loved that he was able, willing, and happy to kill anyone on the other side of the ball when he wasn’t getting it.
February 11th, 2012 at 4:31 PM
His approval from the Veterans Committee will be well deserved
February 11th, 2012 at 5:00 PM
Not HoF material
February 11th, 2012 at 5:04 PM
he is HOF material
/H=Hat
February 11th, 2012 at 5:07 PM
gaydyup!
February 11th, 2012 at 5:27 PM
I wish he would have had a career ending about five years ago.
Bye Hines.
February 11th, 2012 at 5:33 PM
He outran Bane’s earthquake machine! IF that’s not HOF worthy…
February 11th, 2012 at 10:06 PM
He’s a HOFer for sure. Of the guys that look like eskimos, hall of fame.
