It’s been no secret Cam Heyward wants a long-term deal from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He wants to be with the Steelers for the long-term, the rest of his career. Still, yesterday’s report that he plans to skip OTAs is notable and a common approach from players who want paid. Young, old, position group, these decisions and camp “hold-ins,” at practice but not participating, have replaced hold outs. Heyward is likely to do the same during mandatory minicamp. We’ll see what happens when training camp rolls around if he’s still without a deal.
I get the concern.
