Aug 30 (Field Level Media) – Offensive tackle Broderick Jones is being acquired by the Dallas Cowboys, who agreed to a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday that includes three 2027 draft picks.
ESPN reported the trade agreement in place, pending a physical, sends Jones and a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Cowboys for third- and sixth-round picks in 2027.
Jones, the Steelers’ first-round pick in 2023, made 38 starts over three years but was working with the reserves in Pittsburgh during the preseason. He played both tackle spots in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers drafted Max Iheanachor at No. 21 overall in April to play right tackle. He has been competing there with fifth-year veteran Dylan Cook while 2024 first-round pick Troy Fautanu has worked at left tackle.
Former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, familiar with that organization’s preference for a well-stocked offensive line, is entering his first season as Steelers coach.
Terence Steele was the primary right tackle for the Cowboys last season. Dallas has been pleased with 2024 first-round pick Tyler Guyton at left tackle in the preseason.
If Jones winds up taking over at right tackle, Dallas could start four first- round picks around center Cooper Beebe.
