The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their third wide receiver in less than 24 hours. This time, it's James Washington heading to Dallas on a one-year contract.
Former Steelers’ WR James Washington is going back to his home state of Texas and signing a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, per his agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @RyanMatha.

Washington was drafted by the Steelers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft from Oklahoma State.
After having a productive season in 2019 as the Steelers leading receiver, he was buried on the depth charts by Chase Claypool and Ray-Ray McCloud.
Washington reportedly asked for a trade prior to the 2021 season, but head coach Mike Tomlin denied that he had requested a trade. Either way, the Steelers didn't grant his request.
