Steelers left tackle Kelvin Beachum is one of the best bargains in football. He's started 28 straight games and will make just over $1.5 million in the final year of his rookie contract.

Knowing a big payday is on the horizon, the former seventh-round pick is content to ride out his current deal with Pittsburgh.

"I don’t know when that call is gonna come," Beachum said in an interview with Alex Marvez and Zig Fracassi on Sirius XM NFL Radio via Pro Football Talk. "It’s not the priority right now. My priority is my daughter and my wife. I know when they’re ready to talk business, we’ll talk business. Up until then, I’ll keep working hard and bettering my craft."

Beachum also discussed the upcoming suspension of running back Le'Veon Bell and how his offensive linemates have helped each other become a better unit. You can listen to the full inteview here.
