Steelers star defensive lineman, Cameron Heyward, recently talked about his interest in retiring in Pittsburgh but acknowledged that he needs to be prepared for any scenario. In his last three seasons, Heyward has earned two first-team All-Pros in addition to three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances.
Heyward is a top-five player on the Steelers roster, and losing him could prove to be a massive blow to the team. Now entering the last year of his six-year, $59.25 million contract he signed back in 2015, Heyward is set for a massive payday in the 2021 offseason that is projected to pay him $16.
