The Pittsburgh Steelers remain uncertain about their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. After last year’s starter, Justin Fields, chose to sign with the New York Jets, the team is still in talks with their other past starter, Russell Wilson. However, the franchise’s top target seems to be Aaron Rodgers, who was ironically the last Jets starter before Fields. One veteran, defensive lineman Cam Heyward, has expressed his impatience with waiting on Rodgers and has no plans to recruit him to Pittsburgh.
“I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap. Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t. That simple, that’s the pitch,” said defensive lineman Cam Heyward in an episode of his “Not Just Football” podcast.
Fans have reacted to Heyward’s comments on social media, with one user tweeting, “Losing a locker room before joining it is next level.” Another added, “This is why I never bought this AR to the Steelers narrative. You have to buy into the Steelers, not the other way around.” A different fan concluded, “He obviously doesn’t want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler because if he did, he would’ve made that decision already.”
It’ll be interesting to see where Rodgers ultimately lands.
