The Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive lineman Cam Heyward have agreed to a restructured contract after an offseason hold-in, per multiple reports. The revised deal will give Heyward an added $3.2 million in incentives, giving the veteran tackle a chance to earn nearly $18 million.
Heyward and the Steelers brought things down to the wire, agreeing on a deal one day before Pittsburgh’s season opener against the New York Jets. Heyward, who at one point considered missing regular-season games in order to force negotiations, will play on Sunday.
