Cam Heyward, a key player for the Steelers, is focused on his 15th season with the team. He is not too worried about the quarterback situation, even though it is still up in the air. Heyward recently spoke on "The Rich Eisen Show" about the Steelers' interest in Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers visited the Steelers' facility, and Heyward had some thoughts about it.

Heyward clarified his stance on recruiting Rodgers. He said he wasn't trying to "call out" Rodgers or scare him off. His message was simple: if Rodgers wants to be a Steeler, he is welcome. Heyward's comments came after he mentioned he wouldn't go on a "darkness retreat" to recruit Rodgers. This is a reference to Rodgers' unique offseason activities. Heyward's main goal is to win games and play good football.

Rodgers, now 41, is a top free agent and has been linked to both the Steelers and the Giants. Heyward's comments stirred some buzz, but he made it clear he is not trying to influence Rodgers' decision. He just wants to win and play well. The Steelers had a decent season last year, finishing 10-7. They had a mix of quarterbacks, with Justin Fields starting the season and Russell Wilson taking over later. Fields is now with the Jets, and Wilson is still unsigned.

The Steelers have been busy in free agency. They re-signed backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. Meanwhile, the Giants added Jameis Winston, but they are still interested in Rodgers. Rodgers spent his last two seasons with the Jets, where he had a solid performance. He threw for 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games. The Steelers' visit with Rodgers was described as positive, and both sides will stay in touch. This is an interesting time for the Steelers, with many questions about their quarterback situation. Heyward's comments add to the conversation, but he is clear about his priorities: winning and playing good football.
