Steelers Trading Broderick Jones to Dallas Cowboys, Reports Say
The Steelers sent Jones and a fourth-round pick to Dallas for two selections after his neck injury and uneven play, ESPN reported.
On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded offensive tackle Broderick Jones and a fourth-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for third- and sixth-round draft picks.
Following a 2025 neck injury requiring spinal fusion surgery, the Steelers declined Jones' fifth-year option worth $19 million, as he struggled to regain form during training camp.
Pittsburgh prioritized first-round rookie Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook as right tackle options, leaving Jones, who started 38 games over three seasons, as the odd man out.
Dallas adds offensive line depth with Jones as potential competition for incumbent right tackle Terence Steele, fulfilling owner Jerry Jones' promise to be "very, very aggressive" in roster moves.
Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Jones seeks a fresh start in Dallas after allowing three sacks across 92 pass-blocking reps during preseason, positioning him to prove value before free agency.
