Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive lineman Cam Heyward was in uniform for practice Tuesday despite his contract dispute.

Steelers DT Cameron Heyward is reportedly still seeking a bigger payday despite returning to practice after a lengthy holdout.

Heyward is underpaid as an All-Pro defensive tackle but gave up significant leverage when he signed a contract extension last summer.

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.

With no end in sight for the Steelers' contract dilemma with Cam Heyward, insider Ray Fittipaldo revealed what a last resort could look like.
