Dallas Cowboys Explore Potential Trades for Star Cornerback and Edge Rusher

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly among the teams asking about Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. as injuries thin Dallas’s secondary. Pittsburgh is said to be open to offers but seeking significant compensation; Porter has not played this season while recovering from a back issue and has denied requesting a trade. The Cowboys and New England Patriots have also been floated as potential suitors for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby, though a deal could be costly and remains speculative. Dallas tight end Luke Schoonmaker has been suggested as a possible trade target for the Los Angeles Chargers, who have lost two tight ends to injured reserve; he has limited production and ranks third on the Cowboys’ depth chart.
Joey Porter Jr. is in the final year of a $9.6 million contract, adding urgency to the unresolved extension dispute with Pittsburgh.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said Steelers general manager Omar Khan's phone had been ringing with trade inquiries, but he presented Dallas only as a possible suitor—not as a confirmed negotiation.
The Chargers signed tight end Hayden Rucci off Jacksonville's practice squad after placing David Njoku and Charlie Kolar on injured reserve.
Luke Schoonmaker has recorded 50 catches for 450 yards and three touchdowns in 53 games since entering the league in 2023.
