The Steelers stick to their policy of not negotiating contracts during the season, confirmed by GM Omar Khan. Players like Cameron Heyward seeking new deals will have to wait until after the season starts. This policy applies to upcoming free agents like James Daniels, Justin Fields, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris, and Russell Wilson. Heyward, wanting an extension on his $16 million contract, skipped part of the offseason program. The team prioritizes focusing on football during the season, with contract talks postponed until later.
