49ers Eye Highsmith for Pass Rush
from San Francisco News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The San Francisco 49ers are closely watching Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith, who could become available after the Steelers extend Nick Herbig. Highsmith’s nine-and-a-half sacks last season and affordable two-year contract with $15M average salary make him a perfect fit to lead the 49ers’ pass rush. While he could replace rookie Romello Height—whose role is more limited—Highsmith’s versatility against both run and pass gives him a major edge. A trade isn’t imminent, but if the 49ers’ current edge players underperform or the Steelers’ season falters, Highsmith could be headed to the Bay Area.
