Details over the incentives placed into Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cam Heyward’s contract literal hours before the regular season began have been revealed. As reported by Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Heyward’s $3.2 million worth of incentives can be broken down into two categories.
1. $1.6 million for recording eight sacks *and* the Steelers making the playoffs
2. $1.6 million for recording 11.5 sacks *and* the Steelers winning a playoff game
Florio also notes if Heyward fails to log at least 30-percent of the defense’s snaps in 2025, his $12.95 million roster bonus due next offseason will decrease to just $875,000.
