Cowboys Shut Down Steelers Trade Rumors

Apparently, there isn't much behind the Pittsburgh Steelers sending Najee Harris to the Dallas Cowboys. Not that there was much there in the first place.

After the Steelers declined Harris's fifth-year option, leaving 2024 as the final year of his rookie contract, speculation started flying around about the team potentially moving on. One speculation brought up a trade scenario where the Cowboys would make a move for Harris, sending Pittsburgh a mid-round pick in return.

None of that has anything behind it. NFL Network's Jane Slater spoke with a Cowboys team source who called the rumors "click bait."

While the Steelers might not have long-term plans for Harris, they aren't looking to move on from their biggest offensive weapon just yet. With a new quarterback, a jacked up offensive line and a new offensive coordinator, this team is hunting for a Super Bowl, and knows having as many weapons as possible is a must.

Harris is expected to remain the starter and get an opportunity to earn his next contract in Pittsburgh. It doesn't feel like a move have any traction until the team starts shutting him down.
