Cowboys, Steelers Make Surprise Trade in New NFL Rumors Ahead of Roster Cutdown Deadline
Bleacher Report • • general
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading offensive tackle Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys, along with a fourth-round pick, in exchange for third- and sixth-round picks.
- Jones, the No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 draft, started 11 games in 2025 before a neck injury ended his season, and the Steelers declined his fifth-year contract option earlier this year.
- The Cowboys released wide receiver Denzel Mims and are dealing with outside linebacker Marist Liufau's fractured forearm, which may require using an injured reserve spot.
- Jones has played 45 games with 38 starts for the Steelers and could compete for the Cowboys' right tackle position, potentially challenging Terence Steele.
- The Steelers' decision to trade Jones follows their drafting of right tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the 2026 draft and a positional shift involving Troy Fautanu moving to left tackle.
