🚨Career Announcement🚨

I’m now with SB Nation and Vox Media on a full-time basis covering the Steelers and the NFL as a whole.

Grateful, excited, and hungry as ever.

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

Only gripes with Love Island are that they make everyone talk using Love Island lingo.

“Chats”

“exploring connections”

A+ toxic show minus those minor qualms

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

Look man, we need to stop throwing around the word elite.

Alex Highsmith is not elite. He’s good, yes, he’s not elite.

[Steelers Takeaways 🌗 @PittsburghSport]

Edge rushers draft picks fail at a higher rate than any position except QB. Highsmith is an elite pass rusher who is also strong versus the run. He’s going nowhere and certainly for not less than a first. He and Herbig are the future of this defense.

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

Pick a pass-rushing duo:

Rams: Myles Garrett & Byron Young
Texans: Will Anderson & Danielle Hunter

The #Steelers got Nick Herbig on a massive discount.

I tallied up impact plays (TFL, sacks, FF, FR, and INT) for Herbig & other pass rushers since 2023. That number was divided by defensive snaps played to give an impact play rate.

Oh??

[Ray Fittipaldo @rayfitt1]

A league source confirmed to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith is not at practice on Wednesday, the second day of a mandatory three-day minicamp.

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

Guys, Peyton Hillis and Vince Young were on the Madden cover. It’s gonna be okay, I promise.

The Steelers have extended Nick Herbig, and they did it on a discount. I share my thoughts⤵️

Dude i was HOWLING at her throughout the entire premiere. Need Kenzie to make it to the end simply because i crack up at the faces she makes every time she’s on screen.

If the Steelers could get a 2 for Highsmith, I’d drive him to Kansas City myself.

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Hypothetical trade:

Alex Highsmith

To Kansas City

For a 2027 2nd round pick

Would you make this deal?

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

That is a man who knows he’s going balls to the wall for the next two years and then retiring/taking a break.

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

@Steelers_DB Bears would be fun

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

I’d guess the Steelers will roll with all 3 of Watt, Highsmith, and Herbig this season.

Not what I would do, but I do think they will do it.

BANG!

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Edge Nick Herbig and the Pittsburgh Steelers reached agreement today on a four-year, $100 million dollar extension that includes $42 million guaranteed per @MikeGarafolo and me.

The deal was negotiated by Joe DiBenedetto, Andy Simms and Ken Sarnoff of @1OF1FOOTBALL.

[Jarrett Bailey @JBaileyNFL]

Julian Edelman is such a rare example of like, he’ll never be a HOFer but he’s a team-specific legend where people would hesitate to wear his number.

Give me some other examples on that, that could be a fun game

[Carlos A. Lopez @LosTalksPats]

AJ Brown on his decision to wear No. 1 instead of No. 11 with the #Patriots:

“Obviously Julian Edelman. He gave me grace to wear 11, but I got so much respect and so much love for him. I’m going to create my own legacy here."

Brown wore No. 1 during his college years.
