Cam Heyward: Willing to miss games over contract
Um, looking for my contract to be addressed. Um, you know, um, honestly looking to be valued. Um, in my eyes, uh, when I look around and, you know, at my position, um, I think I’m like what, 22nd as a DTEK, I’m 36 as a D lineman. Um, and you know, I know what I bring to this team. Um, and what I’m capable of on and off the field. Um, and so it’s hard for me to, you know, have it after the year I’ve had to really justify playing at the number I’m playing at. Um, you know, I understand I signed a contract last year. um to be but to be completely honest with you um when I signed that I told him you know when I have a allp pro year expecting me to come back um and you can look at the contract and see what it was but um you know I think everybody kind of giggled a little bit but in my heads uh I used it as motivation to go out there and prove it is this something you’re willing to miss games over possibly um you know I think they’re definitely you know, options out there that um that could reflect

Outrageous. Selfish play. This is not Captain Cam.
I never expected this from him. Not the heart of the defense. He’s always been the one to say quit making a scene of everything, and get to work. His old ass needs to go if he’s gonna do this, we really don’t need this.
Cut his brother and give him the difference. Pure greed.
Cam Hayward was talking about Rogers drama he's dark resort drama.
He can sit and be disgruntled all year… his choice… let’s focus on who wants to build as a team
What the hell man…
Huge Steelers fan…..LET HIM GO and his brother too
Don’t let the door hit ya…! When these guys say “ Well, I’m looking at what these other players at my position are getting”, it infuriates me to no end! Each team and situation are seperate and unique. Just play for the amount you signed for, and let’s go get #7, baby!! I was six when I became a Steelers fan, the ‘76 Super Bowl year. I don’t remember Mean Joe or Jack Lambert crying about $$$. They may have secretly, but they didn’t go to a microphone and sound like a kindergartner wanting the cool backpack that another kid has! I just lost some respect for Cam. But hey, I deliver pizzas for a living, so I just need to know my place and be quiet!
I really fkn hate this guy.
You get paid until you talk shit about the team on social.
Tj contract hurt his feelings
Remember Tom Brady took a pay cut his last few years. He had $. Winning was the most important. Legacy was important Team was important. Cam, Pitt is a blue collar city and you have lost your way and the city
I think yor a looser you signed a new contract. And you guys haven't done anything in 20 year's. Get over it you make big money. Don't like it leave
Greed Hayward…time is money…sit all you want.
See ya we got 12 picks go after somebody else
What’s the dispute?
He signed the contract
AHHH GEEZ!!!!!🤮
Then miss games, game checks, and get fined. You signed LAST year. At his age if they wanted to they could make him sit out till retirement
Love Cam but this ain’t the move.
I will never understand why these players have so much leverage to name their price. What happened to integrity and honoring the past contract you signed before signing the next one. It's a shame imho.
Bye bye. Granted he's coming off a good season. But why would we pay even more money for an older and slower version of Heyward? I honestly would rather trade for a high 2026 draft pick.
Whatever …let him and Kahn hash it out .
Dude, you just got done advocating for TJ to get a better contract and now you're complaining about a re-up??? You're in the twilight of your career…..WTH???
Tell you what, if you get traded to the Titans, don't complain.
TRADE HIM
You're all about money and you need to finish your contract out before trying to resign! Let him go cause he's another AB and Bell! Bye 👋
I LOVE the comments. Cam is a disgrace. I hope his podcast gets ratiod. He needs to hear it when he walks out with the team too. Boo his FAT ass off the field. I'll be there this weekend to get my slander in.
pitt shouldve been like we signed your nepo baby brother for you , to show how much we value you .. we will give you a raise but we cutting your brother
That's crazy, trade him. You don't want to play after you just signed a contract in September? Get out of Pittsburgh then. You sucked year before last. Always hurt and laying on the field between play's. Even last year in that ravens game you got pushed all over the field.
Why Cam wait until the eve of preseason to start this shit? 🤦
He just signed a new deal last year. Play or just retire already.
They’ll give him a 2 year extension & he’ll retire a steeler or another team will pick him up.. Calais Campbell is 38 & has still been bouncing around getting paid & he is far less productive than Cam who is coming off an all pro year.. I think us drafting Derrick Harmon with our 1st is making Cam push for another contract even harder because 1st round picks are expected to play if not year 1 then definitely year 2.. Keanu Benton & Harmon are the future but Cam is still respectively balling at 36
Retire hypocrite
I like cam but he is tripping with this he more worried about money than winning a Superbowl
BRO….. STAY HEALTHY AND EARN IT…. No fck him he’s old! TRADE HIM
He sucks anyway, go sit
Time to walk bro and he knows the Steelers is going to push him out the door next year
What a selfish jerk.
Dude, you're 36. How tf can you actually expect multi year contract extensions? This is beyond delusional.
Yet you freaks never bitch and moan about how much the owners of these ball clubs make, only the fucking players, what a joke.
He just signed that contract. He 36 or 37 years old. I thought he was close to being over payed for his age and position last year. But he played like a beast, I'll give him that.. $13.7 Million this year? Get out there Cam. Come on now.
I say pay him more but use it to shorten the contract
I'm glad to be seeing that everyone is feeling the same way I do. I think all these athletes are WAY overpaid. If he sits out, then he should have to pay the money back. You signed the contract Cam, so get to work. If you don't like your contract, then you shouldn't have signed it. You can always go get a real job for a small fraction of what your getting paid now to play a game.
He's one of the better ones at his position, he just wants his pay to reflect it! People love to talk when its about someone else's situation and not their own.
I live from pay check to pay check and this guy made millions of millions dollars now he wants more money SMH plus he is old Derrick Henry ran all over us I saw Cam get push around. Hes not worth more damn money
he brings nothing stunk last 5 games and stunk in every playoff game he ever played just retire
YOU EITHER WANT TO BE A STEELER OR YOU DONT YOU HYPOCRITICAL PIECE OF SHIT. All these dudes can go. We aint won a playoff game in how long and these dudes want raises 🤣🤣
Hard to watch. Say it ain’t so, Cam!
Disappointing!!!
