Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith is reportedly attracting interest from other NFL teams ahead of the league's trade deadline, according to a report published Saturday.
The 26-year-old pass rusher, who played in the Steelers' season-opening game against the Atlanta Falcons on September 13, has been the subject of trade inquiries as the October 31 deadline approaches, per Mike Boone of Yahoo Sports.
Highsmith, a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has developed into a key contributor for Pittsburgh's defense. Any potential move would represent a significant shift for a Steelers team that has prioritized continuity on its defensive front.
Neither the Steelers organization nor Highsmith's representatives have publicly commented on the reported trade discussions.
