ESPN: Steelers sign WR Hines Ward to extension

Awesome news!

The Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to make sure Hines Ward would complete what he had started — one of the great receiving careers in Steelers history.

Ward agreed and signed a four-year, $22 million contract extension that will allow him to stay a Steeler the rest of his career, according to a source. Ward was scheduled to be a free agent after the season. He is now signed through 2013.

The deal also frees up valuable cap room for the team.

The 33-year-old Ward has 800 career catches for 9,780 yards and 72 touchdowns.

What a great day for the Steelers and Ward!
