Steelers | Teammates make pitches to keep Randle El

Thu, 2 Mar 2006 06:06:33 -0800

Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports QB Ben Roethlisberger and WR Hines Ward have made their pitches to WR Antwaan Randle El to re-sign with the team. Randle El does not believe the lack of a collective bargaining agreement extension in the league will affect him. Randle El did acknowledge that negotiations have gone nowhere with the Steelers, and the uncertainty of the collective bargaining agreement might be a reason. Ward said he hoped the Steelers would keep Randle El, but talked as if he were already gone, joining WR Plaxico Burress as consecutive starting split ends lost through free agency. "If we don't have Antwaan, the next guy who comes in has to step up and perform, just like when we lost Plax," Ward said. "Everybody kept saying we couldn't win when we lost Plax and here we are Super Bowl champions!"

If we can't get Randle El...id like to see him resign in Pittsburgh.
