Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin responded to the possibility Cameron Heyward misses regular season games because of his contract dispute.

While the Aaron Rodgers saga was dragging on, Pittsburgh Steelers star Cameron Heyward made a comment about the future Hall of Famer that drew some controversy. The two veterans addressed the topic on Monday.

Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, knowing they have studs in the form of JJ Watt, Cameron Heyward, DK Metcalf, and others. He knows that it takes experienced studs to win games, which is probably why he signed up to join them.

With the regular season less than a month away, the clock is ticking on the negotiation process. It took until September last year for Heyward and the Steelers to reach an agreement, and the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year said he is prepared to sit out into the regular season if that is what it takes to get a new deal done.
