Cam Heyward wants a new deal

Or the owners can say **** you,we will just hire all new players who agree to our terms. Take your union and stick it. Everyone is replaceable and you can damn sure bet thousands of men would be willing to take their place in a heartbeat.

To be honest I'd love to see this entire cash cow get knocked down a few pegs overall. All of these billion dollar stadiums taxpayers foot a large portion of the bill for,insane ticket prices,seat licenses and then get raped over asinine concession prices.

All over a game that means nothing when it really comes down to it. It's a dopamine hit for a few hours.

The league will not survive with replacement level players imo, nobody is gonna pay for that level of garbage product with 32 expansion teams.

They’d be more likely to lose their ***** to someone else filling the void and be on the hook for those stadium bills.

I’m with ya, the greed machine is out of control by nearly every company in the US and NFL owners are no exception. In the end taxpayers foot the bill and get raped indeed.

Sad thing is the dopamine hit has gotten weaker over time too with the current NFL product…but prices go up and cash grabs get more frequent.

Player’s association needs to get the “quiet” word out to the players to start planing (set money aside for 1/2 season lock-out).

Player’s association and the3 players themselves would be smart for the early warning.

Believe it or not, the Guaranteed Contracts would also serve towards the “FAN’S” well being. More stable team players & long term contracts means our loved ones will be on the team without the turmoil of contract flutter.

Side Note: The guaranteed contracts will be shorter than today’s contracts but also much easier to negotiate.

Spot on
 
On Friday night, Heyward took to Instagram with a cryptic post regarding his situation. The seven-time Pro Bowler posted a story with the quote "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."

Hmmmm. He sees himself a the villain.....being held hostage...perhaps.
 
One of the BIGGEST reasons for my wanting the GREED MACHINE to fail is that they benefit from taxpayer money, way too much. Make some innocent / non-participant / could care less about the product / tax payer PAY to fund their profits.

They also have other entities not provided to the average business man.

Senator Spector was on the verge of exposing some of these flaws, but died while in the process.

Kansas City is a potential next candidate for the “high-jacked” of tax payer funds.

Its Rumored the Rooneys want a new stadium soon... thats why they are bringing the draft here...

Let me say I will campaign against any taxpayer money for that at all... and if tgey threaten to leave, I will help pack their bags

Id miss them, but not enough that they should get a billion dollars or more in tax money.

The NFL grossly inflates its value to an area. No city has ever collapsed over losing a sports team... they dont matter that much

He wants to compare to the Batman? Get the **** out of here mr money grab
 
Didn't Cam hint at going to Cleveland last season before they gave him a new deal? That's ridiculous, he was coming of a bad season where he was 35 and played only 11 games had 2 sacks and they still gave him a new deal eventhough he brought up playing for a division rival, now he's bitching again.

Why would you want Pickett?? Or were you just joking with that suggestion?

Just fun'n around.....unless they offered Pickett and say a 6th. Then I would jump on the deal.

I thought that rumor was shut down and they just want to renovate the stadium.

Didn’t they (owners) Bragg on how much they were putting into Hienz Field. Made it well known their amount……….

Didn’t they take tax payer money to, at the time?

That stadium is slightly over 24 years old, yeppers…….. wore out by now………..

His way of telling us “Fans” to ****-off………………

DK sports has compared this “hold-in” as the dumbest thing since the LeVeon Bell incident (expecting pay for dual positions). Bell’s was also considered the serious dumbest thing in team history, now Cam is in that running……..

Stadiums last longer these days. Getting a new stadium every 25 to 30 years is crazy. Make some renovations and use the stadium for 40 to 50 years, unless they have a study that shows the new stadium will pay for itself in 5 years. Then, maybe go for the new stadium with your own money or part your money and a loan for the rest from the state, due in full in 5 years.

Why Pickett though? They've been there done that with him. He's just not that good or no better then a career backup to me. There's no one in their QB room i would presently consider for a trade other then Sanders, but they likely wouldn't offer him after his performance Saturday. Worst case in your hypothetical I would take Deshaun and have them pay his salary still and take a 7th or work my way up the rounds based upon the portion of his salary the Steelers have to pay, but the Steelers would not pay any portion of his salary above what Cam was going to make. So if the Steelers would be stuck paying 15 mil then you ask for 5th or 6th.

Otherwise in your scenario I would just try for two draft picks for Cam because its Cleveland and you would be taking a flyer on any other players they might consider beyond their franchise players.

Cam does have ground to stand on, so I'm not trading him immediately but will hear him out to a degree.

If this whole thing gets to big, then I deal him.

His age will keep his contract out of the top ten, Might be looking #15.

Steelers put in individual pissers last year… that was their big upgrade.

They are cheap.

I see no other place in the city that would provide the same WOW factor that the stadium provides currently


As for Cam… if they give him a big new deal and he gets hurt this team is fools.

Push for a new contract in season…but if you hold out and don’t play…screw him .trade his 36yo rear end

What if the Browns offered us three #1s for Cam... Would you go for that?
