Relazione: Steelers prevede di tagliare Hines Ward:The Pittsburgh Steelers don't plan on befitting longtime advanced
receiver Hines Ward, sources told the NFL Network. If the address is
actual -- and the signs accept acicular against this for months -- it
will be a accommodation based as abundant on assembly as money.Ward, who turns 36 next month, absent his starting job for next division and would acknowledgment as the No. 4 or No. 5 advanced receiver on the Steelers.
Pittsburgh is set on traveling with adolescent and faster receivers. The Steelers' top three advanced receivers -- Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders -- all averaged over 13 yards per catch. Ward, who ranked fourth on the aggregation with 46 receptions, averaged 8.3 yards per catch.
Keeping Ward about as a assets advanced receiver makes little faculty for the Steelers or Ward. The fourth and fifth advanced receivers on a aggregation has to accomplish contributions on appropriate teams, which isn't Ward's specialty. That agency Ward would be abeyant for a majority of the amateur next division if Pittsburgh kept him.
The Steelers, who are about $10 actor over the cap, would aswell get to trim Ward's $4 actor bacon for the 2012 season. There had been some achievement that Ward could acknowledgment next division because he was accessible to demography a pay cut and the Steelers beggared means with abhorrent coordinator Bruce Arians, who had been searching to abate Ward's role the accomplished brace of seasons. In the end, Ward just doesn't fit into the Steelers' downfield casual game.
What does the approaching authority for Ward and the Steelers? The alone adventitious that Ward has to abide arena is if a aggregation ethics his administration and wants a adept to be its No. 3 receiver. And, if Ward is no best in their plans, the Steelers will about-face their absorption against re-signing Jerricho Cotchery (15 catches and two touchdowns in the final eight games) or addition free-agent advanced receiver.
