Cam Heyward involved in a ‘hold-in’ believes he has all the power and wants paid again after agreeing to a three year extension last off-season.

“I’m looking to be valued. I know what I bring to this team and what I’m capable of on and off the field, so it’s hard for me, after the year I’ve had, to really justify playing at the number I’m playing at,” Heyward said.

Heyward even went as far as saying he could sit out games if the Steelers don’t rework his contract……..

For NFL defenders. let’s call it what it is……Heyward is ancient in NFL terms. As great as he was in 2024 and has put together a borderline hall-of-famer resume, the Steelers extended Heyward prior to the 2024 season going into his age 35 season when he was coming off a 2023 campaign where he appeared in just 11 games and had only 2 sacks. This was not some no risk signing for the Steelers.

Heyward talked this week that he told the Steelers last year when he has an All-Pro season in 2024 ‘he is coming back to the table and they giggled.’ The Steelers whom believe they can contend for a Super Bowl, will probably cave a day before the season opener. What they should do, though, is fire back to the 36 year old that he has a 1-8 career playoff record with just one sack and that right now just isn’t the time even if Heyward is scheduled to be the 23rd highest paid interior lineman.
