Pittsburgh Steelers Edge Rushers: Highsmith, Herbig, and Sawyer
The Pittsburgh Steelers boast a formidable edge rushing trio with T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig. Highsmith, with two years left on his contract, is a rival teams target, while Herbig, younger and cheaper, is the future. The Steelers recent draft of Jack Sawyer adds another dimension, potentially leading to a Highsmith trade to reshape the depth chart.

NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Steelers Edge Rushers: Highsmith, Herbig, Sawyer. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
It's April 20th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Pittsburgh Steelers sitting on a gold mine at Edge R Usher with TJ Watlocked in on his 41 million a year deal. Alex Heismith as a cornerstone and Nick Herbick heating up in rotation. Rival teams calling about Heismith and Herbick, but word is Heismith turning 29 in August is the one closer to packing bags with two years. Left on his 68 million extension and cap hits over 20 million each season. Herbick at 24 looks like the future. Cheaper contract posted in 87.1 pass rush grade last year with 47 pressures and 8 sacks while spelling the bets. Front office's buzzing because the Steelers grabbed Jack Sawyer in the 2025 draft and he already flashed with a strip sack in the wild car lost to Houston giving GM Omar Khan leverage to deal. No sure thing yet, phones quiet sometimes this close to draft, but with Herbick stepping up and Sawyer emerging, Heismith trade makes perfect sense if.
The offer hits right, reshaping that depth chart smooth.
