Steelers Extend Cameron Heyward with Historic 3-Year Deal

The $45 million contract ensures the veteran defensive lineman will likely retire in Pittsburgh, despite concerns over his age and recent performance.

Heyward's new contract includes $29 million in new money and $16 million fully guaranteed.
At 35, Heyward's deal is the largest ever for a defensive player of his age.
Heyward, drafted in 2011, has been a cornerstone of the Steelers' defense for over a decade.
The veteran missed six games in 2023 due to a groin injury, impacting his performance.
Heyward aims to prove doubters wrong and continue contributing at a high level.
