Ex-jogador do Steelers pede que Pittsburgh estenda o contrato de Nick Herbig

Breiden Fehoko, ex-defensive lineman do Pittsburgh Steelers, defendeu publicamente que a equipe renove com o outside linebacker Nick Herbig antes que ele se torne um agente livre. Em um podcast na terça-feira, Fehoko enfatizou o valor de manter o jovem jogador ao lado das estrelas consagradas T.J. Watt e Alex Highsmith.

Fehoko participou do programa Kaboly + Mack e deixou sua posição clara. “Precisamos pagar Nick Herbig, 100 por cento”, afirmou. Ele observou que, embora poucas equipes paguem três edge rushers, o Steelers possui um grupo forte que deve ser mantido se o preço for justo. Fehoko destacou a juventude de Herbig e o fato de Highsmith ter menos de 30 anos como razões para construir o time em torno deles, oferecendo a Watt mais flexibilidade nos últimos anos de sua carreira.
