In one of the first salary cap moves of the 2021 offseason by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has reportedly restructured defensive tackle Cameron Hayward’s contract for the 2021 season. This per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport:
The #Steelers did a basic conversion restructure on DL Cam Heyward’s contract, source said, and he’ll still make $10.5M this season. But roster bonus and base were converted to a signing bonus and created about $7M in cap room.

Since Heyward has the most years remaining on a contract of any member of the Steelers at this moment, it was only a matter of time until a restructure was going to be done.
