Overwoking the back?

I'm 290 and working on 297 lbs...and my routine is focused around bench press, OHP, squats, and deadlifts. Hard to go wrong with those!

You have almost more 100lbs than I do and I will take any advice from you because even more because of your type of training! :evil::evil::evil:
 
Here's what I would recommend:

Deadlifts 5 x 6
Dumbell rows 3 x 6
Seated rows 3 x 8
Weighted pullups (wide grip) 3 x 6
Narrow-grip pulldowns 3 x 6

Also, I consider the traps to be a muscle on its own, so I work it out with the shoulders.

Always try to lift as heavy as possible with proper form...less reps if need be.

Good routine, only thing i would change is the rep range. Since size is your goal here. Go heavy on the deads are rows, try pyramiding up the weights:-

Deads 5 x 10, 8, 8, 6, 4
Barbell Rows 4 x 12, 10, 8, 8
Chins 3 x 12, 10, 8
Cable Rows 3 x 10, 10, 15*
Lat pulldowns (narrow or reverse grip) 3 x 10, 10, 15*

* = back off set. The idea is to lower the weight and get a few more reps to pump the muscle full of blood. I wouldnt add any trap work to this day, try hitting them with shoulders for a while and see if that makes a difference.
