The Steelers have yet to contract Hines Ward about his future with the team.
This lends credence to NFL.com's Friday report that Pittsburgh is planning to part ways with one of its long-time linchpins. The Steelers recently restructured a number of contracts, and almost certainly would have already been in contact with Ward if they were planning to bring him back. Ward has insisted he'll play in 2012 even if he's released by the only team he's ever known.
