The Dallas Cowboys acquire offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Multiple outlets report the move happens on the eve of the regular season, as Dallas looks to improve its tackle depth.
Reports say Jones has spent three seasons with Pittsburgh after being selected as a first-round pick in 2023. The Athletic notes he did not fully develop in Pittsburgh but provides additional depth for a Dallas offensive line that needs support. Yahoo Sports credits reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, and other sources describe the trade as one that gives Dallas “insurance” at the tackle position.
While most coverage focuses on the rationale for Dallas—bolstering line depth—other outlets emphasize Jones’s background with Pittsburgh and the fact that the Steelers are moving a former first-round selection. The specific draft compensation is described generally as draft picks across reports, without additional consistent detail in the provided excerpts.
