Steelers Linebacker Patrick Queen Linked to Cowboys Trade
10 Mar
Summary
- Dallas Cowboys interested in trading for Steelers' Patrick Queen.
- Queen is entering the final year of his contract with Pittsburgh.
- Steelers re-signed Cole Holcomb, potentially signaling Queen's departure.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly in discussions with the Dallas Cowboys regarding a potential trade for inside linebacker Patrick Queen. Queen, who has served as the Steelers' defensive signal-caller for the past two seasons, is entering the final year of his three-year contract.
As of March 10, 2026, Queen is 26 years old and completing his sixth NFL season. In 2025, he started all 17 games, recording 120 tackles, eight tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and four pass deflections. He has started every game of his career.
The Steelers recently re-signed veteran linebacker Cole Holcomb to a two-year contract extension. This move, coupled with the presence of other linebackers on decent contracts like Malik Harrison, has fueled speculation about Queen's departure via trade.
Despite general manager Omar Khan's positive remarks about keeping Queen earlier in the offseason, recent trade conversations with the Cowboys suggest a potential shift. The Steelers may look to draft prospects like Payton Wilson, Anthony Hill Jr., or C.J. Allen as replacements.
