Poni says that Chris Boswell and Cam Heyward are both the best of the best at their position. Mullsy thinks that Chris Boswell is more likely to continue his elite performance than Cam Heyward is. Poni mentions that kickers are far less important than defensive linemen.

Poni says he’ll donate $5 to charity every time someone catches him chewing on his pen. A caller thinks there’s no way Chris Boswell will get any more money this year.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that Heyward shouldn’t have signed the contract last year if he wanted to renegotiate his deal after a good season. He also says that Cam would get fined if he were to sit out games this year. Mike says that the Steelers can definitely afford to give Heyward a raise. If Heyward were to retire, the Steelers would be able to get the roster bonus back from him. Mike also says that he has never seen a kicker hold out. Florio says that the Steelers made up rules on contracts are dumb.

A new wrinkle to the ongoing Cam Heyward contract saga involves the possibility of him missing regular season games. Poni, warning folks to take his words with a grain of salt, said he’s heard from more than one person that Cam is really considering sitting out meaningful football. In the court of public opinion, fans have already turned on Cam, for the most part. It’s getting hard to blame the fans for how they are feeling right now.

Are the Steelers the ones dropping the ball here? Church festivals and fairs become a big topic of conversation.

The latest on the Cam Heyward front makes it sound like the Steelers are not in the mood to pay him, per Adam Schefter. It sounds like he wants more than just a little sweetener on the top of his deal. Is there some animosity because the Steelers paid multiple guys on the defense this offseason, but not Heyward? The guys think the team was the side leaking things to ESPN. Do the Steelers have the ability to roll over some money from next year or would Heyward also turn that down? We also listened to the final Mike Tomlin chat with the media at Saint Vincent College.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff said the arrow is pointing up on Broderick Jones after a strong finish to training camp. Jeff thinks Troy Fautanu is finding where he was at the end of camp last year before the injury sidelined him for the whole year. The guys asked Jeff about Kaleb Johnson and his finish to camp after an underwhelming performance on Saturday. How much work will these guys see in the second preseason game with a joint practice being held tomorrow? Jeff said Jalen Ramsey has been the most impactful player on the field over the course of camp. Jeff voted Aaron Rodgers as the offensive MVP of camp, at least for the last week of work. Jeff noted that Scotty Miller has been the most consistent player on the offense through camp.

Name Game.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg says that it’s impressive that the Brewers had no problems after moving on from Craig Counsell, and he is overall very complimentary of the Brewers organization. Greg says that a lot of people thought the Astros would be in trouble after losing Bregman and Tucker, yet they’re at the top of their division. Greg can’t argue with the fact that teams with the same issues as the Pirates are always more successful. Greg says that it is possible that the Pirates will go after a top of the line free agent in 2026.

There is a rumor that the Steelers are going to add another wide receiver. Allen Lazard? Odell Beckham Jr?
