Steelers WR Hines Ward announced his retirement from football.
In an emotional press conference, the career Steeler said he considered trying to latch on elsewhere following his February release, but that he ultimately had no interest in wearing another uniform. "I can say I am a Steeler for life. And that's the bottom line," Ward said. "That's all I really wanted to do." It's possible Ward didn't receive a single phone call after what little remained of his separation skills disappeared last season, but he'll go down as an icon for a franchise that has many of them. A fearsome blocker, Ward will retire with exactly 1,000 career catches to go along with 12,083 receiving yards and 85 touchdowns. One of the toughest — sometimes dirtiest — players of his era, Ward has a shot at one day seeing his bust in Canton. We'd ultimately bet against Ward making the Hall, but Art Monk's recent enshrinement bodes well. Like Monk, Ward was a possession receiver.
Mar 20 - 12:05 PM
Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 in Arizona is "hearing" that the Cardinals don't have any interest in Hines Ward.
The connection with Ward's ex-Steelers coaches is obvious, but the eye in the sky doesn't lie. Ward wants to play again, but we can't imagine any team giving him more than a cursory look in training camp. Those types of players get signed deep into the offseason, not in the first days of free agency.
Mar 5 - 1:14 PM

Mike Jurecki on Twitter
Free agent Hines Ward's 8.3 yards per catch average was the lowest in the league for a wide receiver with at least 40 receptions last season.
The statistic was pointed out by a personnel director whose franchise was rumored to be interested in Ward. Devoid of playmaking ability and battling concussions the past two seasons, Ward may not be granted his wish to play at least one more season.
Mar 4 - 6:58 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirmed on
SportsCenter
that free agent Hines Ward "wants to play at least another season."
"Make no mistake," Schefter emphasized. Some NFL analysts have pleaded with Ward to retire, but he seems intent on playing one more year. Schefter called the Jaguars, Cardinals, and Browns potential suitors. On NFL Network

Wednesday night, Jason La Canfora suggested the Buccaneers.

Rashard Mendenhall
Sidelined
Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Tuesday the Steelers expect Rashard Mendenhall (torn ACL) to play in 2012, but conceded he may begin the year on the PUP list.
In reality, Mendenhall is a near certainty to begin the year on the PUP list after tearing his ACL in Week 17 last season. Tomlin and GM Kevin Colbert are both now on the record as expecting their running back to play this season, but it's far from a slam dunk. Mendenhall is off the radar in redraft leagues.

Jonathan Dwyer
Sidelined
Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer (broken foot) has begun running and cutting.
Dwyer expects to be on the field for OTAs, though his participation level remains up in the air. Dwyer does still have soreness in the foot, but he insists it's nothing serious. If Rashard Mendenhall (ACL surgery) isn't ready to start the season, Dwyer could emerge as Isaac Redman's top backup.

Baron Batch
Sidelined
Steelers RB Baron Batch (ACL surgery) will not practice with rookies and first-year players at minicamp on Friday.
Now nine months removed from surgery, Batch is eligible to practice but is apparently not ready to do so. It's possible the 2011 seventh-rounder suffered a recent setback, as he indicated in late March that he was cleared for all offseason workouts.

Weslye Saunders
Suspended
NFL suspended TE Weslye Saunders four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Saunders' resume was a red flag-filled mess coming out of South Carolina last year, and was ultimately the reason he went undrafted. He's now in trouble again. An oft-used blocker after making the Steelers out of training camp, Saunders played about 15 snaps a game and held his own in pass protection. The 23-year-old only caught four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown.
