The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t do business, as it pertains to giving new players or coaches new contracts, once the regular season begins. That means for players like JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner and Cameron Heyward, among others, the clock was ticking to get a deal done.
There have been famous stories about the Steelers getting a deal done as the clock struck midnight, most notably the contract Troy Polamalu signed as the team was in the airport ready to board a flight for Week 1.
When Cam Heyward received a new 5-year contract with the Steelers worth $65.
