## Resource

The Steelers are betting big on their pass rush trio—Watt, Highsmith, and Herbig—with an eye-watering $82M cap hit, hoping they’ll anchor the defense. But last year’s lackluster sack numbers raise serious questions: Can Watt, now 31 and down to just 7 sacks, still dominate? And is Highsmith, who’s only hit double digits once in his career, really worth that top-tier pay? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
