Cameron Heyward just recently turned 33 years old, after having arguably his best season yet in 2021. A year before that, he signed a four-year contract extension that carries him through 2024, the year in which he will play at the age of 35.
Just days ago, the All-Pro said that he wanted to play another five years—which would mean taking him to the age of 37, through the 2026 season. The retirement of his dear friend, Stephon Tuitt, hasn’t had any impact on that position, and he is still excited about the group of players that they have in the defensive line room now.
