Steelers eye trade for Highsmith amid Broncos defensive situation

The Pittsburgh Steelers may target trade discussions for edge rusher Alex Highsmith due to legal issues surrounding Denver Broncos rusher Jonathon Cooper. Cooper faces serious charges after his recent arrest, raising questions about his future with the team. Highsmith, who has been a solid contributor to the Steelers since being drafted in 2020, could serve as a strategic option for the Broncos as they seek to bolster their roster. While speculation indicates Highsmith might command a second-round pick, Denver's willingness to meet that asking price remains uncertain, opening the door for potential negotiations soon.
