About this episode

NFL Draft Rumors: Chargers Eyeing Steelers Edge Rushers

The NFL draft is heating up, and rumors are swirling about the Pittsburgh Steelers edge rushers, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig, being shopped around. The Los Angeles Chargers, with a thin pass rush depth, could be interested in Highsmith. Despite GM Joe Hortizs reputation for modest moves, the Chargers need for an edge rusher is glaring. They hold the 22nd pick but may consider a proven vet via trade, as seen with Odafe Oweh last year. With cap space and just five picks, a modest swap could tempt the Chargers. Expect them to at least inquire about Highsmiths price.

With NFL draft week heating up and big trades flying left and right, whispers are swirling about Pittsburgh Steelers' ed rushers, Alex Heismith, and Nick Herbig being shopped around. Heismith looks like the prime candidate to move, and the Los Angeles Chargers could be kicking the tires on a deal. Chargers' GM Joe Hortes isn't known for splashy moves, but their past rush death is paper thinned behind Khalil Mack and breakout star Tuley Tweepalotu. Veterans like Bud Dupree aren't bill for heavy snaps anymore, and they're still waiting on Kyle Kenner to step up. Fans and analysts are buzzing because the Chargers hold the 22nd pick where an edge rusher makes sense, but grabbing a proven vet via trade. Could plug the gap instantly. Remember, they flipped for Odefe Owe last year and saw that quit boost before he hit free agency. New reports from Yahoo Sports highlight these names, floating in front offices, and with the Chargers sitting on decent cap space, but just five picks. This draft, a modest swap, maybe a future selection,

might tempt them without gutting the board. Bottom line, expect the Chargers to at least dial a Pittsburgh for price check. Their edge need is too glaring to ignore as draft night looms. Stay informed with California News today, AI-powered updates.
