The Steelers Are Going to Release Hines Ward

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.
