Bucs Eye Nick Herbig Trade

On April 21st, Tababay Buccaneers are hunting for a top-edge rusher to boost their defense.

They've added al-Qaadid Muhammad, and Yaya Diabi is holding it down, but they need

more heat up front.

Instead of rowing the dice on the NFL draft, whispers say they could snag Nick Herbig from

the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade.

Steelers might deal Herbig or Alex Heismith to climb the draft board on Thursday night.

Big balled out last season with 7.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss, plus nine force

fumbles over three years.

He's a rotational guy now, but starting him could unlock big plays, kind of like they

did with Shaq Barrett back in the day, says, fans and insiders are buzzing about this fit

for Tampa.

Herbig's proven he can produce without being the full-time guy, and pairing him with Diabi

Katera's quarterbacks.

League chatter has Pittsburgh shopping him to move up, making him a realistic target.

The catch is cash.

Trading for him might just cost a first round pick swap, plus some later ones, but extending

his deal could run 23.5 million per firm.

Year on average, Bucks sit at about 12.8 million in cap space, and signing draft picks would

squeeze them tight.

We'll see if Tampa pulls the trigger before Round 1 kicks off Thursday.

Either way, they're gearing up to dominate that edge.
