Dallas Cowboys trade Nate Thomas to Houston Texans
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys traded offensive lineman Nate Thomas to the Houston Texans on August 30, 2026, in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round draft pick. The move follows the Cowboys' separate acquisition of offensive lineman Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers for two 2027 draft picks. Thomas, a 2024 seventh-round draft selection, appeared in 17 games for Dallas over the last two seasons, including four starts during the 2025 campaign. He struggled with efficiency metrics last year, recording the lowest pass-blocking grade among NFL offensive tackles according to Pro Football Focus. The roster maneuver allows the Cowboys to finalize their 53-man unit ahead of the 2026 season. The Texans gain depth on their offensive line, keeping Thomas within the state of Texas as they prepare for the upcoming schedule.
