Steelers’ Heyward Tells Fans Not to Panic Despite Offensive Exodus

‘Was I surprised? Yeah,’ Heyward said of a recent trade. ‘But, you know, the game is the game, and I know it benefits both teams.’

Despite an offensive exodus, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran Cameron Heyward has told fans not to panic.

This comes as the Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a third-round pick next season and a fifth-round pick in 2027. Combined with the loss of quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, running back Najee Harris, offensive linemen Dan Moore and James Daniels, and wide receivers Mike Williams and Van Jefferson, the Steelers have lost a chunk of their top talent from last season.
