    Let's see:

    TJ Watt (highest paid Steeler) + C Heyward (2nd highest paid Steeler) = Career postseason win totals: 1!

    Have they really been the difference-makers many believe? There is something very wrong with this picture.

    They're more like suggestions than contracts at this point.

    I listen alot of DK and he is reporting that Cam ( Agent) is being dumb. If anyone knows DK they know how careful he is and reasoned with his reporting. Here have a listen

    Heyward signed a deal and was happy as a clam when he did it. He is 36 years old.

    Everyone seems to think he was a super star last season. How about the last 5 games and the playoffs when the bottom feel out and he was gassed. Same with Watt. Where were you?

    Heyward was part of ONE playoff win. Watt? Nil!

    I wonder how many other teams have the Hold In?

    Paying Watt that contract I thought was a bit much but he is the meal ticket. The one all come to see. Like Skenes for the Pirates and Crosby for the Pens. Heyward is not a Super Star. A great player yes. And is aging. That's why they drafted Harmon!

    Yet some would pay $5-$10 for a cup of coffee.


    I don't blame Cam for asking for a raise. He's still at TC. It's not like he needs the team reps. And, he's still going to be voted a team captain.


    Doesn't mean he's going to get what he asks for. Maybe he does. This is how it works today.

    The Steelers should play hard ball with Cam if he can't live off of making over 14 million this season too bad :shrug:.

    The Steelers don't like to redo contracts with more than one year left on it, Cam is 35 years old and just signed his deal last year.

    I forget, was Cam on the field when the Ravens gashed them for 299 rushing yards, before taking their foot off the pedal?

    NOW is a good a time AS EVER to trade his ass - if possible.

    I HOPE Khan is trying.

    he has been a nuisance for years. and never a winner, getting this team to meaningful wins in DEC when it counts.

    he just wants to fleece the organization.

    greedy pig

    I think we can all agree that NFL Players these days are all out for themselves. The team is secondary.

    I think we can all agree that ALL politicians are out for themselves and should have term limits. The country is secondary.

    Oh well, he just signed the deal last year but now because he's the 18th highest paid DT or whatever he wants a raise.
