The Steelyard:
Best news of the day is that WR Hines Ward will have the chance to retire as a Steeler, having agreed to a four- or five-year contract extension that virtually assures he will never play for another team. The deal should also give the Steelers much-needed cap relief, as Ward was scheduled to earn $5.8 million in salary in 2009 with a cap number of $8.55 million.

The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Ratliff in the second round in 2004; he has been a backup for most of his career, which has also included stints with Tampa Bay and Indianapolis.

Well the 2009 Draft has come and gone. Although it didn't go the way many expected I think the Steelers still had a good draft. Mizzou DT Ziggy Hood was the Steelers first pick and he will be a solid force up the middle for many years. He more than likely won't start this year but that'll give him time to develop. They also picked up OL Kraig Urbick from Wisconsin...
