Show Notes
The Jacksonville Jaguars aim to bolster their interior defensive line and pass rush for the 2026 playoffs, with the draft being their primary focus. However, trade talks are heating up, particularly for Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Nick Herbig. Despite being buried behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, Herbig has recorded 13 sacks over the past two years. With his contract year approaching and being underutilized in big moments, hes a potential trade target. Experts value him around a second-rounder plus a third or a second and a fifth. Acquiring Herbig would instantly address the pass rush issue, allowing the Jaguars to target defensive tackles in the draft. While the cost is high, his potential impact and the possibility of a one-year rental make this trade a B-grade move.
