With Pittsburgh Steelers DT Cameron Heyward now looking for a contract extension this offseason, I am curious to see if any new deal he might ultimately sign this summer winds up somewhat similar in structure to the deals that S Troy Polamalu and TE Heath Miller signed back in March 2014. At that time, Polamalu and Miller were entering the final years of their current contracts with the former nearing his 33rd birthday and the latter 31 years old.
In early 2014, Polamalu was set to earn $8.25 million for that upcoming season with a scheduled salary cap charge of $10,887,500.
