Repórter que cobre os Steelers descarta troca de Highsmith; analista pede mais tempo de jogo para Herbig

Em meio a relatos recentes de interesse comercial em Alex Highsmith e Nick Herbig, o repórter Ray Fittipaldo diz que uma negociação envolvendo Highsmith é improvável sem uma 'oferta absurda'. O analista Gregg Rosenthal sugere negociar um deles para aumentar o tempo de jogo de Herbig, listando potenciais parceiros.

Após rumores de que os Steelers estariam dispostos a ouvir propostas pelos edge rushers Alex Highsmith e Nick Herbig antes do Draft da NFL, Ray Fittipaldo, do Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, descartou uma troca de Highsmith em sua coluna semanal: “Não. Os Steelers não vão fazer isso. A única maneira de isso acontecer é se eles receberem uma oferta absurda, e eu não espero que isso ocorra.”

No podcast NFL Daily, Gregg Rosenthal defendeu a negociação de Highsmith ou outro jogador para dar mais espaço a Herbig, descrevendo-o como 'um dos melhores pass rushers puros da liga' e que está sendo subutilizado. Potenciais parceiros de troca seriam: Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints e Miami Dolphins.

A profundidade no pass-rush de Pittsburgh—T.J. Watt, Highsmith, Herbig e Jack Sawyer—garante estabilidade, embora o histórico de negociações do GM Omar Khan deixe espaço para movimentações durante a semana do Draft.
