Bears Should Target Highsmith

The Steelers just handed out a massive $100M, 4-year extension to their edge rusher, setting up a loaded pass rush with T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and the new signing. With that kind of spending, Highsmith could be on the move — and the Bears should pounce. Tied for 26th in sacks last year and relying on unproven players, Chicago desperately needs proven edge talent. Highsmith’s been a consistent sack machine for five seasons and a solid run defender — and while he’s had some injury issues, he’s been durable in his first four years. For a team chasing Super Bowl dreams, he’s the perfect upgrade to fix their pass rush and run defense. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
