The Dallas Cowboys are shoring up their offensive line depth ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

The Cowboys are acquiring offensive tackle Broderick Jones in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to multiple reports. The Steelers will receive third- and sixth-round picks for Jones while the Cowboys will also acquire a fourth-round pick along with the veteran.

The Steelers selected Jones in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The Georgia product played in 45 games (38) starts across his three seasons in Pittsburgh, logging most of his action at left tackle.

Jones played a career-low 11 games during the 2025 season because of a neck injury. He surrendered six sacks and committed one penalty across 632 offensive snaps and graded as Pro Football

Focus' 66th-best offensive tackle among 84 qualifiers.

Despite his struggles last season, Jones will provide the Cowboys with an experienced tackle option behind Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele. It isn't clear whether Jones will immediately serve as Dallas' swing tackle or whether he will have to stave off competition from fourth-round rookie Drew Shelton or other members of the Cowboys' tackle room.

Meanwhile, the Steelers trading Broderick Jones will clear the way for first-round rookie Max Iheanachor to serve as the team's swing tackle behind Troy Fautanu and Dylan Cook.
