Hines Ward never could envision himself wearing a uniform other than the one he wore 14 years with the Steelers but Casey Hampton doesnt feel the same.
Im a little different than Hines, said the Steelers burly nose tackle.
Following the 2011 season, the Steelers informed Ward that he would not be part of their future even though he was the franchises all-time leading receiver. But he never considered playing a 15th season with another team at the age of 36.
Hampton, however, believes he can play for two more years. He'd prefer to finish his career where it started but he also understands the business side of football.
If the Steelers dont re-sign him, Hampton will sign with the highest bidder as an unrestricted free agent.
I want to play, and if someone wants me to play for them, Im going to play," Hampton said. "Thats just the way it is.
