Steelers devem considerar propostas de troca por Highsmith e Herbig em meio a conversas sobre profundidade na posição de edge

Dando continuidade às especulações recentes sobre o futuro de Nick Herbig, os dirigentes do Pittsburgh Steelers estão prontos para considerar sondagens de troca pelos outside linebackers Alex Highsmith e Nick Herbig antes do draft da NFL. O insider do Yahoo Sports, Charles Robinson, relata que os nomes deles estão circulando nos bastidores das equipes, com Highsmith sendo visto como o candidato mais provável a uma negociação. Um executivo de pessoal de alto escalão disse a Robinson: 'Acredito que eles irão trocar um dos dois'.

Fontes da liga indicam que os Steelers poderiam incluir um dos edge rushers em negociações para subir no draft ou acumular escolhas futuras. Highsmith, que registrou 9,5 sacks em 13 jogos na última temporada apesar de lesões, possui um valor de troca significativo graças ao seu contrato acessível e à sua juventude em comparação com seu companheiro de equipe T.J. Watt. Nick Herbig também surgiu nas discussões como uma opção de troca, complementando o jogador selecionado no draft de 2025 pela equipe, Jack Sawyer, que conseguiu um importante sack-fumble nos playoffs.
