Steelers RB Willie Parker Leaving Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker is basically a free man now that the season is over and it seems there is only a 50/50 chance that he'll be back with the team, and if he comes back it will surely be for less than the $4 million he was paid this year. The rise of 2008 first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall when Parker was out with a toe injury does not help the six-year veteran's case to return. Parker apparently does not want to be playing second fiddle to Mendenhall and is likely to try and find a place where he can be the top guy. "If you think about it every running back wants to be the starter," the two-time Pro Bowler said.

He showed he can still play well yesterday, Pitt does not need him anymore, but he could start somewhere else

We're moving in another direction, Willie is way to injury prone. He's going to want more money then we're willing to give, good luck out there Willie.

This past year was the final year on his contract that sets him "free..."

He'll get a starting gig somewhere...

I can see him staying in the AFC and maybe sign with the Patriots.
