As the November 4 trade deadline approaches, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has hinted at a potential major addition to the team. During a recent appearance on SiriusXM radio, Jones suggested that the franchise has made a significant acquisition, igniting speculation among fans about the identity of this mystery player.
With no further details provided, the rumor mill has begun to swirl, with some insiders pointing to three-time First-Team All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick as a possible target. NFL insider John Frascella tweeted about this intriguing possibility, fueling the excitement surrounding the Cowboys” plans.
Jones indicated that this new addition would help address some of the challenges the Cowboys have faced on the field. Currently, the team holds a record of 3-4-1 and is looking to improve their standing following a crucial Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals. The offseason trade of star linebacker Micah Parsons to the Packers has taken a toll, as Brian Schottenheimer“s defense ranks among the worst in the league, sitting at 31st in total defense as of Week 8, having allowed 30 touchdowns.
Acquiring a defensive player like Fitzpatrick would undoubtedly bolster the Cowboys” struggling defense. Reports from NFL insider Jordan Schultz reveal that the Miami Dolphins are open to trade offers for the five-time Pro Bowler, despite having acquired him from the Pittsburgh Steelers just a few months prior.
Fitzpatrick has recorded 50 tackles and one interception over nine games this season, contributing to the Dolphins” disappointing 2-7 record. As the Cowboys prepare for their game against the Cardinals, retired three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman expressed doubts about whether this mystery trade could significantly enhance the Cowboys” performance.
With the trade deadline looming, the question remains: will this potential acquisition be the key to turning around the Cowboys” season and improving their current record?
