As the Steelers scramble to clear cap space, a $4 million chunk could be opening up in one fell swoop.
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Steelers won’t bring back veteran receiver Hines Ward for a 15th season with the team.
In 2011, Ward slid down the depth chart, which makes him way too expensive for his current contribution level. Also, even if he cuts his pay down to the veteran minimum, he’s in danger of occupying a position that ordinarily would require the wideout to play special teams.
In the end, the Steelers may try to “retire” Ward, the same way offensive coordinator Bruce Arians “retired.”
Maybe Ward will end up with the Colts, too.
