The Dallas Cowboys lost a key piece of the offensive line rotation over the weekend, with versatile offensive lineman Brock Hoffman deciding to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers during NFL free agency. Earlier in free agency, it was reported that Hoffman would join the Steelers, but he denied the reports. Now, a deal has come to fruition.

In Pittsburgh, Hoffman reunites with former head coach Mike McCarthy and former Cowboys assistant offensive line coach Ramon Chinyoung, who was hired as the Steelers' running backs coach.

Hoffman signed a one-year deal with the Steelers.

After signing his new contract, Hoffman took to social media to share an emotional video montage from his time in Dallas. Hoffman shared the highlight reel along with the message, "Thank you Cowboys Nation."

The video featured the song "Too Fast" by country music star Jason Aldean.
