Steelers Weigh Nick Herbig Extension Amid Cap and Role Questions

The Steelers reportedly consider Nick Herbig a high-priority extension behind Joey Porter Jr., but the deal hinges on whether Herbig signs now or waits for free agency. With T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith already paid top dollar, Pittsburgh must balance a potential near-$16M APY for Herbig against cap realities, possible trades, and the risk of losing him if he walks as Watt turns 32 and Highsmith 30, all while Herbig would still be backing up two veteran edge rushers who are under contract near 2027.

Steelers Secure $3.65M 2026 Salary Cap Credit Ahead of Free Agency

The Steelers were credited $3,652,778 toward the 2026 salary cap, added to $16,907,294 of unused 2025 cap space rolled into 2026. Cap credits (and debits) can come from incentives or player-insurance proceeds; Watt’s contract and injury history make insurance-related credits likely. This could be the Steelers’ largest cap credit in years, with updates forthcoming once the Michael Pittman Jr. contract details are reported.

Watt’s down season (seven sacks, three misses) and aging edge-rusher concerns, even as Garrett set a single-season sacks record with 23. Pittsburgh’s $123 million extension signals belief Watt still has more to give, making this moment feel like a potential turning point and a test of Watt's ability to reclaim dominance.
