Heyward, in final contract year, would welcome extension but none in sight

Ideally, the Steelers would have liked to have had a contract extension in place with star defensive lineman Cam Heyward by now.

But with the coronavirus outbreak having shut down the country -- including the NFL -- that's been put on hold. And considering the unknown factors involved with how it could affect future revenue streams, as well, things might just stay that way.

At least that's something for which Heyward is preparing himself.

"I would love for it to get done, but obviously it hasn’t," Heyward said Thursday afternoon of his contract in a Zoom call.
