Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward made some headlines on his podcast last week when he said he wasn't going to go on a "darkness retreat" to recruit a certain quarterback to Pittsburgh, but he's not downplaying the need for the team to take action in 2025.

Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward has been around for years, part of a Pittsburgh Steelers team known for building conservatively. Now, heading into Year 15, he's taken notice of the team's emphatic push for serious contention.

During an appearance Friday on “The Rich Eisen Show,” the All-Pro defensive tackle spoke about Pittsburgh’s recent flirtation with Aaron Rodgers, who not only visited the Steelers’ facility Friday but was a topic of conversation on Heyward’s podcast earlier in the week as the free agency waiting game continues.
