While Cam Heyward’s contract is likely to be restructured sometime this offseason, reducing his large 2024 cap hit, don’t expect him to take a pay cut. Appearing on the latest episode of his Not Just Football podcast, Heyward addressed his future, confirming he’s not retiring. He’s not playing less money, either.

“I bust my butt rehab. Doing everything,” Heyward said, commenting of the difficulty of his season. “I gotta let things calm down. Screw the people who keep talking about me getting a pay cut.”

He then proceeded to delve into his post-2023 plans, fully intending to play in 2024 and hopefully beyond next season.
