Cameron Heyward and the Steelers have agreed to a three-year extension, ensuring that the defensive end will likely finish his career in Pittsburgh.
Cameron Heyward sought to receive an extension from the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason that would ensure he would retire with the team. Sure enough, the likelihood of Heyward retiring as a Steeler took a big jump Tuesday. The Steelers and the standout defensive end have agreed to a three-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
He had a $16 million base salary for the 2024 season, but none of it was guaranteed. To help press the issue, Heyward sat out of mandatory minicamp in June. But he was present though throughout training camp, seemingly helping his chances of getting an extension. Heyward joined the Steelers in 2011, when they selected him with the 31st overall pick in that year's draft.
