Trade rumors around Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith are gaining momentum after Nick Herbig’s reported four-year, $100 million extension raised questions about the team’s long-term defensive plans. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported that the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and San Francisco 49ers are monitoring Highsmith’s situation closely. While Pittsburgh is not actively shopping the 28-year-old pass rusher, his contract, roster fit, and growing league interest could make him a realistic trade candidate later this offseason.
