    How would we know that, unless your talking about him doing what Cam Thomas did where it obvious he wasn't even mentally checked in. In 30 some years never watched a player just come out of his stance at the snap of the ball and stand with hands on hips and didn't move an inch.

    Two other things....

    1. You either bet on yourself or you don't. If Cam wanted a 1 year deal last year, he could've gotten it. Then he could've come back to the table and negotiated a larger contract. He chose a 2 year extension (3 year total contract). Opted for the safety of years instead of AAV. Now he wants to up the money on an AAV number... Can't have your cake and eat it too. You negotiated term. You don't get to hold our feet to the fire over AAV dollars.

    2. To use Cam's words from his podcast "you either want to be a Steeler, or you don't". He said this about Rodgers as he was waiting to sign. Now Rodgers is under contract and practicing and Cam is holding out. Which is it? You want to be a Steeler? Or no?

    I think it ends up working itself out. I don't think Cam will miss games. But if we can hold a firm line on Polamalu, we sure as hell can do it to Cam.

    I read something about it last week. It didn’t make any sense to me either.
