The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> have acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones<\/a>, a 2023 first-round draft pick, from the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, a person with knowledge of the deal said Saturday.<\/p>\n

The deal includes an exchange of draft picks, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team made any official announcements the day before NFL<\/a> rosters have to be cut down to 53 players.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh is sending Jones and its fourth-round pick in the 2027 draft to the Cowboys, in exchange for Dallas\u2019 third-and sixth-round picks.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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

When the Steelers declined to pick up Jones\u2019 fifth-year option and selected Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor<\/a> with the 21st overall pick in this year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
