Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Trade Block Surprise?
10 Jul
Summary
- Steelers may trade running back Kaleb Johnson before 2026 season.
- Dallas Cowboys reportedly interested in acquiring the young running back.
- Johnson's limited role and special teams concerns fuel trade speculation.
As the 2026 season approaches, the Pittsburgh Steelers are considering trading second-year running back Kaleb Johnson. The Dallas Cowboys have been identified as a team potentially interested in acquiring the former third-round pick.
Johnson's playing time in Pittsburgh has become limited due to the presence of other running backs like Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren. His minimal contributions on offense and special teams last season have further fueled speculation about his future with the team.
Reports suggest the Steelers might be willing to accept a Day 3 draft pick, possibly a sixth-round selection, for Johnson. This move would free up a roster spot for Pittsburgh and provide the Cowboys with an affordable young running back to compete for a backup role.
