Mike Florio joins the show

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that Heyward shouldn’t have signed the contract last year if he wanted to renegotiate his deal after a good season. He also says that Cam would get fined if he were to sit out games this year. Mike says that the Steelers can definitely afford to give Heyward a raise. If Heyward were to retire, the Steelers would be able to get the roster bonus back from him. Mike also says that he has never seen a kicker hold out. Florio says that the...

HOUR 1 - New wrinkle in Heyward saga, Fairs & Festivals, Judge Donny

A new wrinkle to the ongoing Cam Heyward contract saga involves the possibility of him missing regular season games.

HOUR 4 - Latest notes from Heyward's hold-in, Jeff Hathhorn, Name Game

The latest on the Cam Heyward front makes it sound like the Steelers are not in the mood to pay him, per Adam Schefter. It sounds like he wants more than just a little sweetener on the top of his deal. Is there some animosity because the Steelers paid multiple guys on the defense this offseason, but not Heyward? The guys think the team was the side leaking things to ESPN. Do the Steelers have the ability to roll over some money from next year or would Heyward also turn that down? We also listene...

Cam Heyward spoke to the Steelers media for the first time since he reported hold-in.
