Wow imagine that, the Steelers not showing loyalty to one of their longtime most consistent players period. They’ll hold out and not pay him and then flush the money down the toilet by paying some new guy in town some amount almost as much as what Hines wants (and most likely comparatively deserves). ---

The steelers pay him money to play football, he don’t deserve another thing from them. ---

> [@Cutty](#): > > where’s his loyalty to his CONTRACT. The steelers pay him money to play football, he don’t deserve another thing from them. Contracts in professional sports are pretty much a joke across the board, all they seem to do is give a guarantee of a what player will at least make. It’s a very screwy system, but the way it is. My point is that Hines is one of the cleanest cut, most well-spoken, team player rah rah, that the steelers have had for quite a while and yet they seem quite quick to turn their backs on him. If he was a known trouble maker or had any kind of negative rep I could understand it (such as Randy Moss) but from everything I have ever saw he is the kind of player you want in your locker room and on the field. ---

give him what he wants. If it was anyone else but Hines, I’d say fuck em. He deserves that shit. I couldnt think of a WR in the entire NFL that I’d rather have than him, and he’s been grossly underpaid the last few years. Its time for him to get paid. ---
