Another NFL defensive player cashed in big on Saturday and the impact of that deal might have very well set a floor market valuer amount for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, who is likely hoping to sign another contract extension in the next four weeks.
According to multiple media reports on Saturday, the Green Bay Packers have signed nose tackle Kenny Clark to a four-year, $70 million contract, which makes him the 12th-highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. That deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, includes a $25 million signing bonus and runs through the 2024 season.
