Cowboys Acquire OT Jones from Steelers

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for draft picks, addressing concerns at tackle during training camp.

The trade sends Jones and Pittsburgh's fourth-round pick in 2027 to Dallas in exchange for the Cowboys' third- and sixth-round selections. Jones, a 2023 first-round pick (14th overall) out of Georgia, started 38 of 45 games in three seasons with the Steelers but missed the final six games last season due to a neck injury that required season-ending fusion surgery.

The Cowboys have had nagging questions at tackle throughout training camp, needing Terence Steele to rediscover his earlier form and Tyler Guyton to develop as expected. The move for Jones indicates concerns about both players and the team's depth at tackle, as no other options stood out during camp and preseason games. lebandit.lat
