Welcome to the terrible take, a daily segment telling Steel Our Nation what's on our minds.

I'm Melanie Freelander.

Defensive End Cameron Hayward likes to have fun with fans on social media.

And when the will he or won't he question about returning for the 2023 season

started after the last season ended, he may have been purposely vague just to stir the pot a little.

Or maybe he truly needed time to reflect. But fortunately, he cleared that up when talking to the media

after the second day of O TAs last week.

In the video clip posted on the Steelers website,

Hayward states, for me, it's just understanding

I've got more years in the tank, adding that he's

excited to keep attacking it and trying to figure out this puzzle to win a Super Bowl.

Heading into his 13th season, Cam Hayward has been a warrior on the defensive line, particularly in recent years.

Although his 2016 season was derailed by a pectoral injury, he hasn't missed a game due to injury since then,

starting every game in the past six years.

When the defensive line was depleted by injury, Hayward never faltered,

even when playing more than 90% of the defensive snaps in a game

and often playing through injuries himself. He is currently ranked second in career

sacks for the Steelers at 78.5 and may pass James Harrison's franchise record of 80.5 sacks

this season if TJ Watt doesn't beat him to at first.

And while Hayward has been phenomenal, both on the field and in the locker room as a captain

and a leader, nothing lasts forever.

He just turned 34 in his under contract through the next two seasons.
