Remember when we talked about being named “Cam” in the NFL? That seemed like so long ago didn’t it? Well I told you the Pittsburgh Steelers were next on the “Cam Spree” and last week they cashed in there sweepstakes ticket.
The son of the late “Iron head” Heyward signed a six year extension for $59.25 million, I didn’t see what was guaranteed because the Steelers aren’t big on giving deals structured that way, but Heyward will be able to net $21 million within the first 8 months of the deal.
Cam Heyward has jumped on the scene has the Steelers best defensive lineman the last two years. Coming out of Ohio State he had high expectations, but in college he played 4-3 defensive end so he was more a pass rusher, playmaker than a hole filler and body eater which is what he had to do in the 3-4 with the Steelers. He obviously has done a great job adjusting to the new scheme because the Steelers have signed that check.
With the new deal in place with Cam go to the next level? Will he get more opportunities to rush the passer? We will see starting in the fall.
Hey NFLers change your name to Cam there is money in it folks.
