Cameron Heyward Won't Take Pay Cut

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward scoffed at retirement rumors. He also made it clear he won't accept a pay cut. The veteran has had a remarkable career with the Steelers, his only team since entering the league. He's appeared in 194 regular season games with Pittsburgh, totaling 647 tackles while amassing 80.5 sacks. The 34-year-old also has six Pro Bowl appearances on his resume and is a three-time first-team All-Pro. But Heyward struggled during the 2023-24 campaign, primarily due to a groin injury, and finished with two sacks and a career-low three quarterback hits. At any rate, it appears Heyward is motivated to remain a formidable presence on the defensive side of the ball, so he could have plenty to offer IDP managers next season as long as he stays on the field, regardless of whether he remains in Pittsburgh.
