Ward will earn $1,668,750 in salary this season.

I really like this guy. He is not a "me first" guy, and goes out and gets the job done. I can't believe that this is all they are paying him (for now).

That's because he plays in Pittsburgh...they seem to have a history of underpaying players. Blue collar area, blue collar team, blue collar salary... :-/

Believe me, I know all about the underpaying thing. :-t

Wow, at that salary he's more than a steal. Guys like him are the ones that deserve the big contracts that some of the loudmouths end up receiving. No justice in football sometimes.

he'll get a nice fat raise, no doubt about it.

I'm pretty sure he asked for one last year after Maddox got his...and I don't think he got it.

This year should be different though since Burress is gone... :-?

im sure he asked, but he was under contract, not much he could do.

BTW Mercer, who is that in your sig? i know its a wrestler from back in the day, but i dont remember his name. was it just booger? i was probably only 10 or so when he came out and i remember thinking of him as a complete waste of space. man that guy was hideous! 8-o

I guarantee he will be irked in these discussions and will want some form of compensation for management lowballing him last year. Face it, the guy deserved a raise, and was classy by actually reporting to training camp. In his shoes, I dont know if I would have done the same.

If the Steelers are smart, they'll pad his next signing bonus by quite a bit...

Does that includes the signing bonus money that he will be getting this year?
