CaptainHook Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 A source close to the Steelers believes the team might not have much leverage in any contract extension talks with WR Hines Ward, who has consistently produced on the field and is popular in Pittsburgh. After declining to sign WR Plaxico Burress to a lucrative extension, the Steelers will have to give Ward a lucrative deal to keep him around. Ward is entering the final year of his contract. We hear that Patriots S Rodney Harrison is dissatisfied with his contract situation, having outperformed the six-year deal he signed as a free agent in 2003. Word is, it had been intimated to Harrison that the team would sit down with him if he performed well, something he certainly has done as the unquestioned leader of a young secondary. Panthers DE Julius Peppers is said to be in the best shape of his career and blew everyone away by running his post-workout wind sprints — a total of 200 yards — in the same time range as the defensive backs and receivers. Don’t be fooled by the fact Mike Anderson was listed as the No. 1 running back in a recent minicamp in Denver. The Broncos are excited with the way Tatum Bell has committed himself to the weight room (adding 10 pounds of bulk) and to learning the playbook, and he’s all but certain to be given first crack at the starting job. We hear that RB Cadillac Williams is the front-runner to be the Buccaneers’ featured back in Week One despite head coach Jon Gruden’s reluctance to rely on rookies. more. . .
