Following Ben Roethlisberger’s lead, Cam Heyward went to bat for TJ Watt Thursday morning, fully supporting Watt’s desire to cash in on a long-term extension with the team. Heyward echoed similar sentiments as Roethlisberger, nothing how good of a player he’s been for the organization.
“We all feel like TJ should be paid,” Heyward told reporters in a video tweet sent out by ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. “He’s put in the time, the work. He’s a productive player. His injury history, he doesn’t miss many games. He’s a game-changer. Our conversations with him is, he should be paid.
