Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson has been identified as a potential trade candidate, specifically for the Dallas Cowboys.

With the Cowboys looking to rebuild their running back depth, a trade might be mutually beneficial. The Steelers are expected to receive limited compensation, possibly a sixth- or seventh-round pick, if a deal materializes.
