The Pomp And Joe Show

Listen, if the LA Rams think they're one player away, one edge rusher away from winning a Super Bowl to knock the Seahawks off their perch in the NFC, maybe they would do it.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

But there's probably, I can count on one hand, the number of teams who are probably

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

willing to do that.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

And then even if they are, you have to come to terms with what you would want in return for TJ.

The Pomp And Joe Show

Would you take a discount and say, okay, I'll just, I'll take a second round pick.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

Would you do that if you're the Steelers?

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

That's the question.

The Pomp And Joe Show

Well, there was a time where they could not consider trading TJ because they didn't have the depth, but they have the depth now.

So that's why I'm saying I think at least Omar at the combine here in about a week or so, I think he will at least listen to offers or put it out there that maybe they would listen.

But I don't think it's a strong likelihood of happening at all.

Well, listen, he's their Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

He's a big guy out in the community for them, so they would definitely be trading away a guy they think really a lot of.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

He is one of their top all-around guys when you look at the whole picture.

The Pomp And Joe Show

But from a football perspective, I could see how that would make sense because if you think of the way the Steelers –

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

have their edge rushers.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

Like Jack Sawyer would be like the Alex Highsmith replacement, right?

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

The bigger defensive end type, the guy who's really good against the run is going to give you a little bit in the pass rush department too.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

Now, Jack has a long way to go to get up to speed to do what Alex has done in the league, but yes, those guys are similar, so I could see that happening, but that's their guy, though.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

Alex Highsmith is their guy.

The Pomp And Joe Show
The Pomp and Joe Show 2-13-2026

Sign him to a second contract.
