Hines Ward is the wide receiver for the Steelers and makes about as much as Big Ben the qb, so he is making 5.5 million a year.
Hines Ward signed a contract extension on April 25, 2009. It is for 4 years/22 million. Ben Roethlisberger's contract was 8 years/102 million. He signed his contract on March 3, 2008.

He's worth a lot more to the Steelers than any other team, but not a lot either way. The Steelers do need him as a leader because Ben Roethlisberger isn't the only leader the team can have on offense, and Ward's blocking ability at the wide receiver position is greatly undervalued. I would say a very incentive laden contract of about 1 year of around $1 million with a maximum of $3 million dollars if he reaches an impressive statistical performance.
