Former Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Connor Heyward has agreed to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders on a two-year contract, according to a report from @PerrettM. The deal carries a maximum value of $5.5 million and includes $2 million in fully guaranteed compensation.
Heyward, who has spent his entire professional career to date with the Steelers, brings a versatile skill set to the Raiders backfield. Known for his ability to contribute both as a blocker and a receiver, the signing addresses a key depth need for Las Vegas as they continue to shape their roster for the upcoming season.
The agreement marks a significant move for the Raiders, securing a veteran presence at the fullback position with a manageable cap hit. During his time in Pittsburgh, Heyward was a reliable utility player and a consistent contributor on special teams, traits that likely appealed to the Las Vegas front office during the negotiation process.
As of now, the Raiders have not officially announced a corresponding roster move to accommodate the signing. Heyward is expected to join the team immediately for upcoming team activities.
