The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a very active offseason, but one that many of the fans haven't been overly thrilled about. While the team did bring in star wide receiver DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh still has a lot of questions around the roster.
One of the biggest questions comes from the quarterback 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.
"This is a PSA for all Steeler fans: Don't panic, stay patient, we'll get to work," he said. "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't gonna win the regular season, is not gonna win the Super Bowl."

This message from Heyward is reminiscent of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers telling Green Bay Packers fans to relax years ago. Ironically, Rodgers is still in the running to become the next starting quarterback for Pittsburgh, potentially making this a full-circle moment.
"I'm not going to go out and start making these extravagant thoughts of 'Oh, we're gonna trade for this,' "Heyward said. "I think you have to look at the players we do have around. You got Calvin Austin, and I think he'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're looking for a guy like Roman Wilson to really take a big step. So, it's not like we don't have a number one receiver still with D.K."
Pittsburgh is looking to get back to the postseason again this year, but finally win at least one game, if not more. It's Super Bowl or bust in the Steel City, and it seems that Heyward could know something is coming down the line.
