The Pittsburgh Steelers traded 2023 first-round tackle Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys, sending Jones and a fourth-round pick in exchange for a future third- and sixth-round pick. Jones, who started 38 games, had surgery-related complications after returning from spinal fusion and is transitioning from left to right tackle as he nears a return to form. The Cowboys view Jones as a swing tackle who could compete for right tackle and reinforce depth behind their starters, reuniting him with former Georgia teammate George Pickens. Pittsburgh cleared space on its line for 2026 first-rounder Max Iheanachor to serve as the swing tackle behind Troy Fautanu and Dylan Cook, while Fautanu shifts to left tackle in the lineup adjustments. Reports emphasize the trade timing around roster-cut deadlines and the teams’ ongoing line restructuring for 2026. Jones seeks to regain form in Dallas as both teams reshape their offenses this season.
