Cam Heyward wants a new deal

[Drink IRON City]

Send him home already.

Play football that we have prepaid you for.
Else, go home.

Or be a man, send the money back and negotiate.

Send the money back……………… like he did the season before when he only played 11 games and 2 sacks…………………

YeahP, leadership.

It would have been the end when he had two other players on his live podcast from the practice field.

Those two players pimping him for more pay would have been in my office and a very stern talking to.

Tomlin is letting the insane run the asylum .




Salute the nation

This goes to show that we don't live in the same reality as an NFL player. One year ago, he inks a 3-year contract and now thinks it isn't good enough. Imagine negotiating a salary with your employer, then going back into their office a month later and complaining about it.
He isn't going to garner any support whining about this. You signed the contract, now honor it.

We hired a guy late last year to run an office, like november... in February he told the upper office he had a better offer and was gonna leave if they didnt match

So they did match it. And a month or two later he went back to them and said the other company offered him more... so they let him leave... he signed two contracts in like four months and still left

My sisters husband is a big wig in Germany and he is always looking for that bigger check. He is not afraid to uproot and chase. It works for him, just not for me I spent too much of my life here there and everywhere I try to stay a little more grounded now.

Oh before I forget did yinz see Bos ended his hold in?

For me that makes me want to do something for him.

Why? It would show the desired approach between player A and B. One quietly holds in and returns and gets rewarded. The other mouthier continues to hold in.

Wouldn’t that show the team has a desired approach? Or matters not?

They can simply ignore it or throw him some incentives. He has limited options. The Steelers are really in the drivers seat…

I’m all for adding an incentive

All Pro gets ya a $5 million kicker with the caveat:
Only 25% of the incentive paid per playoff win with a SB victory counting as 100% (even if only 3 wins)…ya basically give him what looks like some icing in the cake for him to save face (from the corner he’s backed himself into) since in the past he has been a core team player.

Go quietly out the first round and zilch

But it looks like he got some icing…and we all know if they get 2-4 playoff wins none of us are complaining about that extra icing Cam got on his cake.

I’d also let him know this is best and final as a favor for years of good service, you have 24 hours to accept or just sit at home with your ball and stay away from the “team”

Bos ended his hold in because Sauls proved a viable option if he didnt

If a younger guy gets an extended opportunity, and he shows he can play, teams are known to pick younger and cheaper over old reliable all the time.

Harmon starting to come on isnt quite the same, but had, say, Black really sparked and looked like a guy who needed more playing time, and one or two of the other dl Backups looked real good too, Heyward might get worried too

Fittipoldo seemed to come up with a reasonable solution as last resort. Advance him some of his roster bonus for next year and consider this his last season. Then if he is still marketable next year he can go FA. If you think he still has anything in tank you can rework a final year.

To me fronting a guy more bonus money for tryna hold ya hostage is simply caving and a bad look and a bad precedent to set.

If they wanna start renegotiating with 2 years left on deals then by all means, open the flood gates.

Cam already grabbed 13.75 before he made a ***** move… what’s to prevent another ***** move if ya front him more money?

The team can say yes or no whenever they want. Also, it's not like worse hasn't happened with players dictating their way out of town with their actions.

The Steelers did this with AB, they broke the 1-year rule when they started extending Ben 2 years out. They have become more active in the trade market and made some splashier free-agent signings. The floodgates won't open if they make this move for Cam.

Maybe so maybe not, I wouldn’t negotiate with the terrorist. He’d have already got a very clear and defined message that his BS ain’t gonna work. If he had an ounce of loyalty he’d have crossed this bridge before the 13.75 million cash grab. But naw, he’s just like a bad Steve Miller song.

imo the floodgates are already open in many ways with the pathetically weak ownership and HC.

Inmates have been running the asylum for a hot minute now. May already be too late to salvage any of the past Steelers standards and operations procedures sans a full house cleaning from the very top to the bottom of the “leadership”.

I think advancing cash with still cap space available and getting him completely off the books next year could be win win. I realize the optics 448. But you drafted your next stud last year. You can get good in FA with Cams money. And then he's done.
