While NFL fans enjoy the rumors and speculation surrounding the approaching trade deadline, one can say Steelers the player is not a fan.

In last week’s episode of his podcast, Not just football with Cam Heywardthe defensive tackle shared his frustration with ongoing trade speculation: “Every week it’s ‘Who are we going to get this week?’ Who are we going to receive this week?’ Heyward’s powerful statements reflect his confidence in his teammates and what this team is capable of accomplishing.
