Cameron Heyward revealed his plan to keep the Steelers from trading T.J. Watt, and it involves storming into general manager Omar Khan’s office.
The Steelers defensive end said Wednesday, in a tongue-in-cheek way, that if he caught wind that a trade was going to occur that he would go up to the GM and tell him, “That’s not happening.”
“If there’s even a trade that gets up there, I don’t think it helps our team to trade a guy like that,” Heyward said during an appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show.”
Heyward appeared on Wednesday’s show with WWE wrestler Seth Rollins, who was hosting alongside Chris Brockman.
The Steelers’ defensive end broke into laughter when Rollins followed up by asking if Heyward had the power to do that.
“No, no, I don’t have that power,” he replied. “I’d be like, guys, we have to have a talk. I don’t know if it’s even going to work, but I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring and say this cannot happen.”
Talks have continued to drag on over a contract extension for Watt, though it’s expected he will end up getting a deal that will surpass an annual average value of $40 million.

The Steelers also reportedly did their due diligence in inquiring about Watt’s trade value.
“Man, that’s my brother,” Heyward added. “I want [Watt] to get paid what he deserves. That dude is one of the most fierce and best players in our league. And he’s respected throughout the league. I’ve had the best time being able to play with him, and I hope this year is not the last time we play together, because that dude, that’s my running mate, and we create a lot of havoc together. And I just want to see that guy continue to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, and be a one-helmet guy.”
The Steelers are set to kick off training camp on July 24, and the picture should start to become clearer over what will happen with Watt.
