Report: Steelers Finally Signing Former Cowboys OL Brock Hoffman

After reportedly agreeing to terms with former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Brock Hoffman towards the beginning of the legal tampering period, it appears the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally sealed the deal.

According to Steelers insider Mark Kaboly, the team has agreed to terms with Hoffman on a one-year deal for the 2026 campaign.

Hoffman previously pushed back against the notion that he had signed with Pittsburgh when the original reports of him doing so first came out.

With the Cowboys' decision not to tender Hoffman as a restricted free agent having been made official, however, and with the deals of the contract being ironed out, he is now on his way to join the Steelers.

Hoffman, who originally signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech in 2022, joined Dallas' practice squad under Mike McCarthy, Pittsburgh's new head coach, in November of that year.

He proceeded to play for the Cowboys through the 2025 campaign, appearing in a total of 54 games along the way and starting 16 of them.

Hoffman spent the lion's share of his time at center this past year, recording 419 snaps at the position per Pro Football Focus, and he also received 55 reps over at left guard.

After signing Ryan McCollum, who they previously did not tender as a restricted free agent, to a one-year deal shortly before finding common ground with Hoffman, Pittsburgh has a well-stocked offensive line heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Steelers are set at center with Zach Frazier, right guard with Mason McCormick and right tackle with Troy Fautanu, all of whom were selected in the 2024 draft, but the left side does pose more questions.

Though it appears Broderick Jones has a shot of returning by the time training camp arrives after suffering a season-ending neck injury in Week 12 this past campaign, neither he or Dylan Cook realistically project as long-term options at left tackle.

With Isaac Seumalo departing the Steelers and signing a three-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency, Spencer Anderson is the favorite in the present moment to start at left guard in 2026.

Hoffman could certainly push him for snaps there, however, and Pittsburgh may very well address the position with one of its 12 picks in this year's draft as well.
