For the last two weeks, every discussion around Cam Heyward has revolved around his contract. Skipping OTAs in search of an extension, almost certainly the last of his NFL career. Will the Steelers do it? Should they? If so, how will it be structured to make the team and player happy? Questions we still don’t have answers to.
Come Week 1 in Atlanta, Heyward will be on the field. And no matter what you think about his future, he’s going to play and serve as one of the top players on the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this season. With that, he’s set to become part of an exclusive club of Steelers to play 200 career games.
