The Dallas Cowboys have acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones, a 2023 first-round draft pick, from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh sent Jones and its fourth-round pick in the 2027 draft to the Cowboys in exchange for Dallas’ third- and sixth-round picks. The move was made Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s NFL cut-down day deadline for teams to get their rosters to 53 players.

Jones was the 14th overall pick out of Georgia in the 2023 draft. He started 38 of the 45 games he played in three seasons with the Steelers.

Jones missed the final six games last year after an awkward hit to his neck Nov. 23 against Chicago. He then went on injured reserve and had season-ending fusion surgery that required a lengthy rehab.

When the Steelers declined to pick up Jones’ fifth-year option and selected Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick in this year’s draft, they sent out an unsubtle hint. They were laying the groundwork to move on from the player they once viewed as a major foundational piece.

Among the Steelers’ most notable roster moves ahead of Sunday’s 4 p.m. deadline to trim their roster were linebackers Jamin Davis and Malik Harrison, and receiver Levi Wentz.

Wentz, from Pine-Richland High School, was an undrafted free agent pickup this spring. Davis was a former first-round pick of the Washington Commanders who Pittsburgh picked up in June. Harrison was owed $4.5 million this year after signing a two-year, $10-million deal with the team last year.

The Cowboys have had nagging questions at tackle all of training camp. They need Terence Steele, going into his seventh season, to find the form from earlier in his career and for Tyler Guyton to develop as expected in his third season.

The move for Jones indicates they are concerned on both fronts, and with their depth at tackle since none of the others stood out in camp or preseason games.
