It took a little while longer than he might have hoped, and it might not have been exactly what he was looking for, but Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward is happy to put the whole contract situation behind him and just focus on football now.
Seeking a raise and a contract restructure, Heyward ultimately got some incentives added to his contract for the 2025 season. He has to just go out and earn them. He’s happy to get that chance.
“I’m only realizing how more I’m relieved just because I’m sleeping a lot better. But I’m glad to put that behind us,” Heyward said to reporters Thursday regarding the contract situation, according to video via Steelers.
