Re: Ward need's to retire
Do we sign him past the 2009 season? He will be 34 then, so I'm not sure we'd really want to extend him past 2009. Thoughts?sigpicComment

Sign Antonio Bryant with Hines' salary.

If Nate is not re-signed, then I'd love to see us go after Bryant Johnson. Not sure about having SAntonio and Antonio....Originally posted by clock401Sign Antonio Bryant with Hines' salary.sigpicComment

I don't think the bucs will let him slip away. Plus they got Jagozinski (sp?) I think as their OC, which is a positive for the offense and he may not want to leave. He is #1 there especially with Galloway having issues, I don't think he would leave to play second fiddle to Holmes. It would be nice though. Not that I want Hines to go ANYWHERE.sigpicComment

Re: Ward need's to retire
Hines is done, he needs to take a pay cut.
We won the Super Bowl and the AFC championship without Hines.Comment

Did you miss the regular season? Santonio was nowhere to be found. Glad we didn't cut him...
Obviously they are at different points in their careers, but Hines made huge plays during the regular season, not to mention took his first catch 40 yards into scoring position on in the Super Bowl.sigpicComment

Re: Ward need's to retire
81 catches for 1,043 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 1 crushing block resulting in a broken jaw. He stays.Originally posted by clock401Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Hines was hurt after the first quarter of that AFCC game and sat. I'm sure he would have, as always, made a huge contribution had he not been hurt. He was also hurt during the Super Bowl but was out there and got us off to a huge start, along with a big third down grab. Hines will be a very good Steeler for a couple of years.
On a side note, anyone else think that ARE would take a paycut after his contract is up in Washington to go for another Lombardi or two? I think a guy like him adds an explosive element to this offense. He will never really be a No. 1 receiver, but he could really make a difference in this offense.Comment

Re: Ward need's to retire
Not to mention he sets the example for the younger guys (Holmes, Sweed)
Not to mention a 3rd Super Bowl may help cement his induction into the HOFsigpic

Re: Ward need's to retire
CUT Hines Ward!! BITE YOUR TONGUE
I don't care if he puts up 50 catches for 600 yards next year . . . he's a great person on this team and has a few more seasons left in him
Did you see him roll over on his knee??? Did you see what he was doing all season and that game up until that catch???
IF he was OLD, he wouldn't have even played in the Superbowl after rolling his knee like that.Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...

Re: Ward need's to retire
Ward is like Bettis... he stays until he decides to leave...
Who did Holmes mention in every interview? Hines...
Who had the first catch for 38 yards in the SB that set the tone? Hines...
Who will mentor Sweed and was the first to get him to shake off that pitiful drop? Hines....Steelers 27

Re: Ward need's to retire
Great point with the comparison to Bettis. Only thing is, Bettis took a pay cut to stay. Do you think Hines does the same thing?Originally posted by feltdizz
But aside from all that, I think a healthy Hines Ward has 2 or 3 good years left. Hopefully he retires a Steeler.Comment
