Has Willie Parker Played His Last Game With The Steelers?

Willie Parker, a former two-time Pro Bowl running back, is an unrestricted free agent who sounds as if he has played his last game with the Steelers. After losing his starting job to Rashard Mendenhall in Week 4, Parker played sparingly the rest of the season, even though he might have gone out in grand style when he rushed for 74 of his 91 yards on the final game-preserving drive in Miami. At age 29 and with an average of 244 carries in each of his past five seasons, he wants to, and thinks he still can, be a starting running back in the NFL even though his 5-foot-10, 209-pound frame has absorbed a lot of blows. “I’m a starter always looked at myself as starter, that’s what I want to be,” said Parker. “So, till I hang up pads, that’s how I’m going to look at myself. Rashard is a great back and he had a great season and, hopefully, he’ll carry it on. I had six great years here with the Steelers. We won two Super Bowls. I want to thank the organization and thank everybody. You know how the business goes. I love these guys. I love the organization. I’m a Steeler by heart. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

I enjoyed your time in Pittsburgh Willie. Sorry to see you go, but it's time.

(Unless you want to play for cheap.)
