Cowboys acquire former 1st-round pick to solve right tackle issues
The Cowboys made a move to strengthen their offensive line, giving up draft compensation.
On August 29, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys made a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire former first-round pick Broderick Jones. The move comes as the Cowboys aim to address issues at right tackle. In exchange for Jones, the Cowboys sent over a third- and sixth-round pick to Pittsburgh. The trade also involves a fourth-round selection from the Steelers.
Jones, who has started 27 of 28 games over the past two seasons, is expected to provide competition for incumbent starter Terence Steele at right tackle. Despite Jones' impressive track record, the Cowboys' coaches have expressed a desire for better pass protection, a role Jones has not yet fully mastered.
