Would Cam Heyward really skip regular season games without a contract resolution?

Due an average of $14.5 million over the next two years, Cam Heyward wants more money, but is he willing to skip games? Speaking to reporters earlier this week after reports leaked of his hold-in, he didn’t rule it out. Thus far, he has done nothing more extreme than skip a couple OTAs and sit out some training camp work.

My sense is Heyward believes the Steelers leaked the story, which is why he decided to address it publicly. From his perspective, he felt he had to do what he had to do last year with the expectation of course-correcting his contract last year.
