The Dallas Cowboys are making headlines as owner Jerry Jones suggests that the team is actively pursuing trades ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Speaking on SiriusXM”s show with Stephen A. Smith, Jones confirmed that the Cowboys have already completed one trade and are working on two additional deals.
The Cowboys” offense has been performing exceptionally well this season, with quarterback Dak Prescott among the league leaders in passing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage. Wide receiver George Pickens has also made significant contributions, tallying 685 receiving yards and six touchdowns in just eight games. All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has added 406 receiving yards and one touchdown over five games.
Despite their offensive success, the Cowboys” defense has struggled, allowing the most passing yards and the second-highest number of points in the league. This has prompted speculation that Dallas is looking to reinforce its defense before the trade deadline, which is set for Tuesday at 4 PM ET.
Names being mentioned in trade discussions include Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive end Bradley Chubb, Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, and Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby. With a current record of 3-4-1, the Cowboys are preparing for a challenging Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium.
Following the game against Arizona, the Cowboys will face a tough schedule, including a road game against the Raiders and home matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. Despite the difficult road ahead, Dallas remains competitive and is focused on securing a playoff spot.
Jones” comments indicate that the Cowboys are in a “buyer” mode, seeking immediate-impact players to enhance their chances for a successful playoff run. As the deadline approaches, all eyes will be on Dallas to see how they bolster their roster.
