Steelers, Cowboys Trade Talks Hit Crossroads
- Latest development: Steelers-Cowboys trade talks for Patrick Queen hit a snag, making a deal unlikely for now.
- Queen could be moved if the price is right, with mid-round draft compensation being a possible ask.
- Queen carries a $17 million cap hit this season, which could influence any potential release savings for the Steelers.
- Steelers GM Omar Khan had earlier signaled Queen as a name to watch for an extension.
- The talks emerged during NFL free agency as teams explored upgrades at inside linebacker.
- Dallas Cowboys were reported to be among teams involved, though they distance themselves as talks stalled.
- Pittsburgh’s interest in Queen could persist if price expectations align with needs.
- Queen is an All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler at inside linebacker, 26 years old.
- Trade talks occurred amid free agency as teams seek impact players with short-term cost efficiency.
- If Queen is released, Steelers would gain substantial cap space savings.
