Per the report, Heyward and the Steelers have had talks about reworking the deal but they have not made progress toward a new agreement. The Steelers have a policy of not negotiating during the season, so the two sides may be running low on time for that to change before the calendar flips to 2026.

Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive lineman and captain Cam Heyward is seeking a reworked contract that would give him a pay raise, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
