There is a trade rumor floating around involving the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> and Dallas Cowboys<\/a> that has a two-time Pro Bowler at the center of it.<\/p>\n

According to Jane Slater of NFL Network<\/a>, the Cowboys are “looking at” a trade for Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen, who has been viewed as a cut or trade candidate this offseason.<\/p>\n

Slater cautions, however, that the Cowboys aren’t making a “strong pursuit” right now, but as we know things can change on a dime in the NFL.<\/p>\n

It’s not hard to see why the Cowboys would have at least some interest in Queen.<\/p>\n

Dallas has one linebacker spot locked up with DeMarvion Overshown, but there is no clear starter next to him after the team released Logan Wilson<\/a>\u00a0last month.<\/p>\n

Queen has been OK but not great in Pittsburgh, but OK is not good enough to live up to the three-year, $41 million contract he signed in 2024, so we know Pittsburgh would likely have no issue parting with him.<\/p>\n

Last season, Queen was effective as a pass-rusher, but he struggled mightily against both the run and in coverage, notching Pro Football Focus grades<\/a> of 58.4 and 31.3, respectively, in those areas.<\/p>\n

It was much of the same for Queen in 2024, although he was better in coverage with a grade of 53.9 that season.<\/p>\n

Queen used to be more effective during his days with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, when he had higher grades in run defense (64.8 and 62.8) and coverage (74.8 and 68.2) over his final two years there, so perhaps a change of scenery will help.<\/p>\n

Based on Slater’s reporting, it doesn’t look like there’s anything imminent at the moment, but we’ll continue to monitor this situation in the days ahead.<\/p>\n
