Dallas Cowboys trade offensive lineman Nathan Thomas to the Houston Texans

The Dallas Cowboys traded offensive lineman Nathan Thomas to the Houston Texans on August 30, 2026. In exchange for the 6-foot-5, 330-pound lineman, Dallas receives a 2027 seventh-round draft pick. Thomas, a former seventh-round pick out of Louisiana, started four games for the Cowboys last year but fell behind on the depth chart during this year’s training camp. The team moved in a different direction at the left tackle position after Tyler Guyton secured the starting job in early August. Following the acquisition of former first-round pick Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers to compete at right tackle, the Cowboys deemed Thomas surplus to their roster needs. The move allows the Houston Texans to add experienced depth to their offensive line unit as they finalize their roster for the upcoming season.
