“I expect him to be here for years to come,” Khan said of Heyward when asked about the confidence a deal will get done, according to video via the Steelers’ YouTube page.

While Heyward stated after practice Thursday on Day 1 of training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe that he wasn’t going to get his hopes up one way or there other regarding a new deal with the Steelers, Khan’s comments regarding his team captain were pretty eye-opening.
