Steelers' Highsmith Eyed for Trade

About this episode

Pittsburghs formidable edge rush trio of T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig may see a shakeup, with Highsmith potentially on the trading block. Despite Herbigs impressive rookie season and Watts recent extension, Highsmiths injury history and the Steelers depth could lead to a trade. Teams like the Chiefs, Lions, and 49ers could be interested, seeking pass rush reinforcements. However, any deal would need to be highly enticing for Pittsburgh to disrupt their successful formula.

On April 8th, Pittsburgh's edge rush game is stacked with TJ Watt, Alex Heismith, and Nick Herbigg, one of the league's top trios. But word is, the Steelers might shop one of them down the line, according to Beat Writer Jerry Dulick. He says they won't move the 24-year-old Herbigg, who's on his rookie deal, and just hit a career high 7.5 sacks last season. Watt's locked in with a fresh three-year extension, and still elite at his age, that points the Heismith as the trade candidate. The 28-year-old is solid when healthy, but battles injuries, and the Steelers have Herb igg ready to step up. Teams like the Chiefs, Lions, and 49ers could bite, all needing pass rush juice. Kansas City and San Francisco ranked bottom 10 in sex, while Detroit lacks a real partner for Aiden Hutchinson. Pittsburgh holds all the cards with this group, so any deal would need to blow them away before they tweak a winning formula. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today.
