What happened: Yahoo Sports named an unspecified NFC team as an ideal trade partner for Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith, reviving the same trade speculation that recently linked him to the Packers. No deal has been reported as agreed or finalized.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh sought a second-round draft pick for Highsmith in trade discussions last month, a price point that has kept the speculation alive into the offseason. Continued outside interest signals other teams see him as a rotational or starting edge upgrade.

What to watch: Watch for whether an NFC club engages Pittsburgh directly as trade speculation continues.
