The biggest name on the list of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 free agents is outside linebacker Alex Highsmith. Highsmith had a huge breakout season in 2023 with 13.5 sacks and heads into the final year of his rookie contract with the opportunity to make himself a ton of money with another big season.
Steelers general manager Omar Khan was on 93.7 The Fan, and he wasn’t willing to comment specifically on Highsmith and a new contract, but he didn’t make it clear he wants to see him in Pittsburgh for a long time.
“We don’t like to talk specifically about an individual contract, but I’ll say this: He’s a Steeler,” Khan said. “Since the day he got here, he’s been awesome. He gets better and better every year, and I really hope Alex is here for a long time.”
The Steelers have made some moves this offseason to free up some cap space, perhaps in preparation for a new deal to keep Highsmith paired up with T.J. Watt for a very long time.
