The Dallas Cowboys have traded for offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers, as confirmed by multiple sources. Pittsburgh will send Jones, a 2023 first-round pick, along with a fourth-round pick, in exchange for future third- and sixth-round picks. Jones, who helped Georgia win two national championships, started all 11 games he played in 2025 before sustaining a neck injury.

The Cowboys aim to bolster their offensive line alongside right tackle Terence Steele as they prepare for the upcoming season.
