After T.J. Watt finally inked a three-year, $123 million contract extension ahead of training camp, Pittsburgh Steelers fans assumed the team escaped contract drama. We were wrong. But it's not a player in a contract year who's looking for more money; it's a veteran who signed an extension just last offseason.
In 2024, Cam Heyward and the Steelers agreed on a two-year, $29 million extension. The long-time defensive lineman was entering his age-35 season, and many assumed his play would diminish quickly.
However, after stringing together an impressive All-Pro season in 2024, Heyward is pushing for more money.
