Schefter: Steelers Now Have Another Player Requesting A New Contract After News Of Cam Heyward Broke

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced two pieces of troubling news on Thursday that caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. While neither situation is catastrophic, both involve key veterans looking for new contracts after recent deals. Longtime defensive leader Cam Heyward made headlines when it was revealed that he is seeking a new deal just one season after receiving a contract extension. Heyward’s request highlights ongoing contract negotiations that could affect his future with the team and raise questions about the Steelers’ salary cap and roster plans.

The news did not stop there for Pittsburgh. The team’s kicker, Chris Boswell, also finds himself in contract talks as he looks to secure new money. Boswell is widely regarded as one of the best kickers in the NFL, having signed a contract three years ago that made him one of the highest-paid at his position alongside Justin Tucker. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Boswell has been quietly seeking a new deal for some time as the market for kickers has shifted, leading to a price reset in his position group.
