Steelers trade Broderick Jones to Cowboys and seek offensive tackle depth

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded offensive tackle Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 third-round and sixth-round draft pick ahead of the final roster deadline. The move follows preseason evaluations that prompted the team to move on from the former first-round selection. Rookie Max Iheanachor is expected to take over as the starting right tackle, creating a vacancy for depth behind incumbent Dylan Cook and left tackle Troy Fautanu. Protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains a priority for the team as the regular season begins. With the 53-man roster now set, the front office is expected to scour the waiver wire for available veteran tackles to bolster the unit. Potential targets include Jedrick Wills Jr., Jonah Williams, Cornelius Lucas, Cam Robinson, James Hudson III, and Wanya Morris to provide immediate competition and experience at the position.
