While the team did bring in star wide receiver DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh still has a lot of questions around the roster.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest questions comes from the\u00a0quarterback position, and it seems that the team is being patient with everything. Some fans have been panicking about the outlook of the team, but Steelers star defender Cam Heyward sent a message to calm everyone down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a PSA for all Steeler fans: Don&#8217;t panic, stay patient, we&#8217;ll get to work,&#8221;\u00a0he said. &#8220;I think sometimes we can jump off the ship and think the ship is sinking. We got work to do. And, you know, whoever won the offseason isn&#8217;t gonna win the regular season, is not gonna win the\u00a0Super Bowl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.webp 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.webp 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.jpg 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.jpg 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.jpg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward watches the game against the Tennessee Titans during the second quarter at Acrisure Stadium. \" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjE0OTAyOTIyNjg3ODE2NzI3\/usatsi_21802617_168396005_lowres.jpg\" \/><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward watches the game against the Tennessee Titans during the second quarter at Acrisure Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--attribution\">Philip G.

Ironically, Rodgers is still in the running to become the next starting quarterback for Pittsburgh, potentially making this a full-circle moment.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"ql-video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/691_fjo_dAY?showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to go out and start making these extravagant thoughts of &#8216;Oh, we&#8217;re gonna trade for this,&#8217; &#8220;Heyward said. &#8220;I think you have to look at the players we do have around. You got Calvin Austin, and I think he&#8217;s gonna take a step forward. I think the ball should be going through (tight end) Pat (Freiermuth) a little bit more. And then also, you&#8217;re looking for a guy like Roman Wilson to really take a big step.

It&#8217;s Super Bowl or bust in the Steel City, and it seems that Heyward could know something is coming down the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0have had a very active offseason, but one that many of the fans haven&#8217;t been overly thrilled about.
