Steelers Send Broderick Jones to Cowboys for 2 Picks, Weakening Rodgers' Protection

Summary
Pittsburgh dealt tackle Broderick Jones to Dallas for a 2027 third-round pick and sixth-round pick, while sending back a fourth-rounder in a move that strips proven line depth from a win-now roster.
Jones started 38 of 45 games in three seasons and played all 603 of his 2025 offensive snaps at left tackle, giving the Steelers rare flexibility on both edges.
That insurance matters more with 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers leading the offense, yet Pittsburgh used one of its 53 roster spots to keep four quarterbacks instead of another experienced blocker.
The Steelers still have Troy Fautanu, Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook at tackle, but the trade leaves little margin if injuries hit again after Jones missed the final six games of 2025 with a neck injury.
