Cowboys show interest in pass rusher Nick Herbig after Myles Garrett trade

On June 1, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys expressed interest in acquiring Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig following a failed trade for Myles Garrett, who was acquired by the Los Angeles Rams. The Cowboys, alongside the Philadelphia Eagles, had shown interest in Garrett, but turned their attention to Herbig, who had a strong 2025 season with eight sacks and a top NFL edge defender ranking. At 24 years old, Herbig is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the Cowboys view him as a potential upgrade for their defensive line. The Steelers have not indicated interest in extending Herbig's contract, opening the door for a possible trade.
