Ward likely a Steeler for life... according to "The REAL Feed":
 
Steelers' Ward signs 5-year contract extension
SI.com: NFL (26.04.2009 22:10)
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Wide receiver Hines Ward signed his five-year contract extension Sunday with the Steelers, a deal that should allow the two-time Super Bowl winner to finish his career in Pittsburgh.
 
Quietly and classily done behind the scenes at a time when the spotlight won't be on him because the distractions around the league are many.  What else would you expect from a class act like Ward?!

Lawyer may ask Roethlisberger for list of affairs
