The Steelers plan to release four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Hines Ward, the team announced on its website Wednesday. "We had a conversation today with Hines Ward and informed him that we plan to release him of his contract prior to the start of the 2012 NFL calendar year," Steelers President Art Rooney II said. Ward, 35, was drafted by the Steelers in the third round in 1998, spent 14 seasons in Pittsburgh and is the team's all-time leader in receptions (1,000), receiving yards (12,083) and receiving touchdowns (85). He was the Super Bowl XL MVP following a 21-10 victory over the Seahawks in which he caught five balls for 123 yards and a touchdown. He caught 46 passes for 381 yards and two touchdowns in 2011 and was due $4.61 million from the Steelers if he remained on the roster next season. The team is up against the salary cap and still must re-sign Pro Bowl receiver Mike Wallace. Source: USA Today
