What happened: Dallas sent Pittsburgh’s own 2027 sixth-round pick back in the Jones deal after receiving it in the Pickens transaction. The Steelers received 2027 third- and sixth-round selections for Jones and a 2027 fourth-rounder.

Why it matters: Jones brings 45 NFL appearances and 38 starts into Dallas’ offensive line before the 2026 season. The linked deals leave Pittsburgh with three draft selections while Dallas adds two established players.

What to watch: Watch how Jones fits into Dallas’ opening offensive-line plans. Pittsburgh’s focus turns to the 2027 draft capital from the two trades.
