What Would You Trade for Alex Highsmith?

[Stout]

Word here in da 'Burgh is that, with the big signing of Herbig, Highsmith will be traded. When healthy, he can be a force at edge. When healthy.

Thoughts?

They can have Benson.

His name is Alex. I don’t think he’s much better than Josh Sweat and he’s both entering his age 30 season and only under contract for another year after this one.

It’s definitely better to have two above-average edge players than one, and only Sweat and Burke are under contract for 2027. But I think I’d rather invest a draft pick at the position and get three years of value than trade the asset.

Okay but Ali Highsmith played linebacker forgettably here for two seasons.

Watt gets most of the heat. 2027 picks are precious. I might offer a 6th or 7th, no more. I’m not sure he change any game outcomes, but he’s a solid player.

You beat me to it, as I was going to post a retraction. My mind kept calling him Ali all the time, for that reason. I checked the next time I got into the car and listened to them continually calling him Alex

Mods, can we change the title?

If he's as good as Hightower yes

No. I don't get free passes and I don't have an argument here but in this administration we upheld....oh it's not PnR
