Dallas Cowboys acquire offensive tackle Broderick Jones from Steelers

NFL trade Dallas Cowboys Pittsburgh Steelers Broderick Jones offensive tackle

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade involving draft picks. To secure the former 2023 first-round pick, Dallas is sending its 2027 third- and sixth-round picks to Pittsburgh, while also sending a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Steelers as part of the exchange.

Jones, a former standout at Georgia, has started 38 of his 45 NFL games. His recent tenure in Pittsburgh was marked by struggles with pass protection and a significant neck injury that required spinal fusion surgery. Following the injury, the Steelers declined his fifth-year option and selected Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, signaling a move away from Jones.

The Cowboys aim to bolster their offensive line depth and improve protection for quarterback Dak Prescott. Jones has been working to regain strength and weight following his medical clearance for the upcoming season.
