The contract stalemate between the PIttsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cam Heyward extended completely through training camp and is threatening to spill over into the regular season. To summarize, Heyward signed a contract extension last offseason, didn’t think it was good enough and after a big 2024 season wants a big raise.
Meanwhile, the Steelers seem content with not paying Heyward and see if he blinks or sits out games despite having already been paid $13 million this season.
In going over social media, it seems the Steelers fanbase isn’t as unified in Heyward’s cause as they were for edge defender T.J. Watt. Here are some reactions from social media.
The sticking points for fans with Heyward is about his comments he made prior to Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers in comparison to his comments about his own contract situation. Many fans also note how much money Heyward has made in his career and feel no sympathy for his plight, demanding even more millions.
