Cowboys consider trading for Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly exploring a potential trade for Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith. Highsmith's backup recently signed a lucrative deal, potentially leaving him available for trade. With approximately $8 million in cap space, the Cowboys might make a move before mid-summer, especially if defensive needs arise during their offseason program. Defensive coordinator Christian Parker could play a crucial role in prompting such a decision, having assessed the current roster during OTA practices this week.
