Its always sad when a aged but beloved veteran is let go, but football is a business, and if the Steelers think they can win more games without Ward than with Ward, well, then, its bye-bye Hines. I'm sad to see him leave, but thank you for the memories.
UPDATE: Add Aaron Smith and Chris Kemoeatu to the list.
UPDATE II: P-G is reporting that James Farrior is also gone.
