Cameron Heyward will soon have to make a decision, it seems. The Pittsburgh Steelers open training camp in less than a week, and he is no closer to a new contract. There are no indications that the team even intends to give him one, so what will he decide? Will he show up but not practice, as many players now do—a “hold-in”?
Heyward is fortunate in the sense that the last time he was up for a contract, it was in 2020. The Steelers held a closed training camp with no preseason that year during the COVID-19 pandemic, so he avoided all of the media drama.
