Now That Heyward Is Signed Long-Term, Beachum Could Be Next

Now that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward has signed his new long-term deal, the organization could very well decide to lock up another young player for an extended amount of time after the team arrives at Latrobe for training camp next Friday. That young player could and should be tackle Kelvin Beachum.

Beachum, who has been the Steelers starting left tackle since the fifth game of the 2013 season, is now entering the final year of his rookie contract. The SMU product and former seventh-round draft pick is scheduled to earn $1.
