In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on Alex Highsmith's contract negotiations with the Steelers. Is it the right move for the team to lock the linebacker up for the long term, especially given how much they've invested in the defense? Or should Highsmith have to prove his worth for one more season? Paul tackles those topics, plus the NFL's Thursday night flex scheduling, the Pirates' baserunning issues and Deion Sanders' liberal use of the transfer portal at Colorado.
