Cam Heyward Basically Called George Pickens A Cancer

It’s hard to be on board with what’s going on with the Steelers right now. Sure, Mike Tomlin has that winning record every season thing on his side, but it reeks of Marvin Lewis. For a guy like Cam Heyward who is on hole 16, it would be understandable if a guy like that started to become frustrated.

That is clearly not the case. Heyward is playing the role of a loyal soldier. He trusts Tomlin. I know because he basically called George Pickens a cancer.

K… he didn’t exactly use those words, but when you say things like “the team could be better without Pickens” phrasing, you’re talking about a guy who is viewed as an addition by subtraction.

VIA Not Just Football Pod:

“I think we’ve got to look at the track record of trading wide receivers,” Heyward said. “There’s been some good history behind this and when to do it, what to expect. I was looking at a stat. There’s only been like three or four receivers that made it past the rookie contracts with the Steelers. It’s crazy.

“You had AB; you had Diontae Johnson; you had Hines Ward; I think you had JuJu [Smith-Schuster] for another year. For the most part, they know when to re-sign and when to trade, and we’ll see what happens. We could be a better team because of it.”

Does Cam Heyward Own A Magical Pooper?

DK Metcalf is now the main attraction in this Pittsburgh offense. Heyward also weighed in on all things DK.

“I didn’t know anything about it. . . . I woke up the next morning, and he had been traded,” Heyward said. “Was I surprised? Yeah, but the game is the game. I know it benefits both teams. We get another third-round pick. They get a wide receiver to go along with CeeDee Lamb. Would I have liked to see George and DK play together? Yeah, but hopefully there’s something in the works. I don’t know.”
