Cowboys open right-tackle competition between Broderick Jones and Terence Steele

Jones arrives with 38 career starts.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 11 min read

What happened: Dallas acquired Broderick Jones from Pittsburgh for 2027 third- and sixth-round picks, receiving a 2027 fourth-round pick in return. Jones will work exclusively at right tackle after playing both tackle spots with the Steelers.

Why it matters: The competition reshapes Dallas' tackle depth, with Drew Shelton positioned as the left-tackle backup for now. Wanya Morris has also joined the practice squad.

By the numbers: Jones played 45 games and made 38 starts in three Pittsburgh seasons. Steele has started 91 of his 96 career games.

What to watch: Right-tackle practice reps will determine whether Steele retains the job or Jones moves into the starting lineup.
