Cameron Heyward is still not a full participant in training camp thanks to a contract dispute.

On Thursday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter [updated the situation](https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1953509437215584735), and it doesn't sound good. The text of his tweet is below.

_With little fanfare, Steelers four-time All-Pro defensive tackle Cameron Heyward hasn’t fully participated in practice yet this summer as he awaits a restructured contract that has not gotten done, per sources._

_Heyward is scheduled to make $14.75 million this season, with $13.45 million of that already having been earned as a roster bonus in March. Heyward is seeking a raise in a defensive market that has experienced a reset this off-season. Heyward and the Steelers have addressed this privately, but have not made any progress on any reworked deal, per sources._

Heyward is entering his 15th NFL season and has spent all of them with the Steelers. The 36-year-old is one of the best defensive tackles in the game and is a cornerstone in Pittsburgh. He has been named to the Pro Bowl in seven of the last eight seasons and was named first-team All-Pro last season.

This feels like a situation that will have to get done eventually.
