(Las Vegas, NV) NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported yesterday that the Las Vegas Raiders signed Pittsburgh Steelers tight end/fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year, $5.5 million maximum value deal. Connor is the younger brother of Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, who just recently agreed to a contract extension with the Steelers that will reduce his salary cap hit in 2025. Connor Heyward played 68 games while catching 44 passes for 379 yards and a touchdown in four years with the Steelers after they selected him in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Michigan State.
