The preseason is over, which means that the Pittsburgh Steelers have their sights set on Week 1. But before that, they’ve got some unfinished business with Cam Heyward that needs handled. Heyward is seeking a raise and wants to renegotiate his contract. Reports indicate that little progress has been made on that front, though. While Heyward has hinted that he’s willing to miss regular season time if he doesn’t get a new deal, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor doesn’t think the Steelers are going to blink in this situation.
“To me, when just a couple days earlier, he said that it was an option on the table to miss regular season snaps, and then he returns to practice, that makes me think that he’s not willing to miss regular season time, which makes sense,” Pryor said Monday on radio show Bishop and Friends on 97.
