Heyward Eyes 2026 as Final Season | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Cameron Heyward is staying in the game for now, aiming to play out his two-year contract with the Steelers — possibly through 2025 and definitely by 2026 — as he takes it year by year while chasing that elusive Super Bowl. The veteran defensive tackle, a cornerstone since 2011 and recently named second-team All-Pro, isn’t rushing retirement, saying he’ll let his body and the team’s playoff run guide him. With stats like 78 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season, Heyward remains a force — even as the Steelers eye young talent like Derrick Harmon. For now, fans can count on 97 for at least two more seasons, enjoying the game and leaving the door open for a potential farewell tour.
