The Pittsburgh Steelers made a second free-agent commitment on Tuesday, this time to help bolster the offensive line. After agreeing to terms with starting cornerback Patrick Peterson on Monday, on Tuesday they do the same with guard Nate Herbig.
Herbig comes from the New York Jets but started his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Steelers new assistant general manager Andy Weidl is very familiar with Herbig and his potential as a starter.
In 2020, Herbig started 12 games at right guard for the Eagles and then in 2022 started 11 for the Jets. Herbig should push Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green for the starting left guard spot. Last offseason, the Steelers signed Mason Cole who started at center and James Daniels who started at right guard.
The #Steelers have agreed to terms with G Nate Herbig on a two-year deal worth $8 million with $4 million guaranteed, source says. Pittsburgh assistant GM Andy Weidl was in Philly when Herbig was with the #Eagles and believes in him as a starter.
