Patriots consider adding Steelers LB Nick Herbig for pass-rush boost

The New England Patriots are scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. As they prepare, analysts suggest they could enhance their edge rusher depth by acquiring Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig. Herbig recorded impressive statistics, including 7.5 sacks in the previous season and has already shown his capability in creating turnovers. With Harold Landry still sidelined due to injury, the Patriots' current edge rusher options are seen as lacking, making Herbig a potential asset. This addition could help address recent struggles in generating turnovers, as highlighted in their loss to the Seahawks last week.
