‘We’ll See’: Cam Heyward Leaves Door Open For Week 1 Holdout
September 2, 2025
Cam is still threatening to hold out and sit out games as of this morning if his contract isn't resolved. He said 'we'll see' when asked if he'll hold out.

Then he shouldn’t have signed the contract, literally, a year ago. I get that he’s played way better than imagined with his age but this is insane. He JUST signed the damn contract.
“Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t”
“Either you want to be a Steeler or you don’t.”
What did Cam say about Rodgers? Oh yeah “Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t”. Hey Cam works both ways except you signed. Either suit up or retire and make 20 million with your podcast
Podcasting has made him way more unlikable, kind of a shame.
I remember a certain Steeler saying, “You either want to be a Steeler, or you don’t. it’s that simple.” Just this very offseason.
I can’t quite remember who said it on their podcast
Fuck ‘im. He signed last year and was all smiles when it got done. He had a good year, stat wise now he wants more. I thought it was expected that you play your best in return for ridiculous amounts of money.
What about the years he was hurt, or had off years, did he give any money back? If he gets more money can the team expect more production?
Go ahead and sit out now because when Harmon gets healthy you can stay on the sidelines.. team captain my ass
Team Captain
Think of his children, crying at home cause they hungrryyy, and the only way to feed em is to sit out games and demand something I didn’t include and sign as a clause in the contract for being all proooooo
Absorb some of your brother’s salary if you want more money. You’re the only reason he is on the team anyway.
Meh, we got Harmon. Wouldn’t be super bummed if he doesn’t play even with Harmon injury.
This is exactly what I want to hear from a team captain
Just fucking play bro, goddamn. Tired of all the drama.
That’s my captain!
We can lose 5 in a row without you! Go cry someplace else!
Quit Cam. See how much you make not playing. Fulfill your contract or go play somewhere else. We don’t support your money grab and your under-achieving defense.
This dude got a $13 MILLION dollar bonus, and immediately went to the media to say “I need to look out for my family”.
Estimated career earnings so far: $146,332,735.
Look, I’m a big fan of big Cam. But this is getting ridiculous. In the words of Mike T “We want Volunteers, not Hostages”.
Helluva Captain right there.
Dude makes like a million a game, as a lineman in his mid-30s..
I have no compassion for millionaires crying about their compensation after they just got new deals.
Cam just went from one of the most beloved Steelers to one of the most disliked. Sad to see, but he brought this on himself. The contract is the contract, no matter how you perform.
Dude’s bonus should just be Conner Heyward is employed
I’m so over this crap. They took a flyer last year with him and gave him a great deal and hey all of a sudden he has a phenomenal year and now he wants more. We are a blue-collar town and we don’t like shit like this. Either play or you don’t.
is this the official cam heyward turning heel moment?
Cam’s drama is unbelievable. Ask for a contract. Get contract. Get contract paid up front. Request new contract. You’re 95 bro. There’s a reason mid 30 players don’t get 5 year deals. I didn’t think he would be the biggest off-season distraction this year. That’s all he’s been. A fucking distraction. Play ball dude, damn.
Seems absolutely content to shit all over his legacy for a few extra quid
Bro is disappointing me. You just got paid. You’ve gotten paid before that. Old guy holding out, at the end of his career doesn’t look good.
We do not care. Just Trade him.
What a great captain 👏
Too chicken to bet on himself then plays well and wants it both ways
Not very captainlike behavior, Cam.
Eventually his play is going to fall off – is he going to give a refund? Then he shouldn’t have signed a two-year prove it deal. 🤷♂️
Why did he wait until a month before the season to decide he needed more money? I seriously doubt he would have been throwing out his quotes about wanting to be a Steeler back in the Spring if he was already planning on a holdout.
Cam you too old for this shit
Perhaps Cam Heyward should play hardball and use his contributions to the Steelers’ post season success while he has been a player as leverage.
Fuck off Cam, guy is a great Steeler but he signed the deal now live with it.
This is straight up bum shit. I wasn’t even in favor of giving him that contract last year, but then he proved me wrong, but now he’s proving me right again.
Cam got his bag already. Shut up and play.
Cry me a fuckin river. Get your ass out there and play, you’ve made over $100M in your career. So much for having “urgency” and being “all in”. You’d think that a guy like Cam who is a superstar but has never won a damn thing would be interested in just that at the end of his career.
How can you be named a captain and still hold out? Embarrassing.
Trade him and his useless brother to the Raiders or something.
I understand what he is talking about, but he just got a contract extension! You are under that contract! Remember what you said when asked about Aaron Rodgers??
