The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cam Heyward do not seem close on a contract resolution. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Steelers do not seem eager to pay the star defensive tackle, and that has led to some friction in the relationship.

Cam Heyward wants a raise from the Pittsburgh Steelers and is open to sitting out regular-season games to make his point.

Cam Heyward talked after today’s practice and explained his hold in. More coming, but the gist is that his request for a reworked deal dates back to Feb. Upon signing his deal last year, he told the Steelers he’d be coming back to re-negotiate if he had an all-pro season.
