What to know

  • Jerry Jones has moved from openness to skepticism, now saying he sees no active trade opportunities as the November 10 deadline approaches.
  • The Cowboys were expected to pursue defensive help (targeting players like Josh Sweat or Maxx Crosby) but Jones downplayed urgency even after rivals made big moves this week.
  • Dallas plans no fire sales and will count on players returning from injury rather than external acquisitions to shore up a struggling defense.

“I think the defense they're trying to bring in is what I've done for the last 10 years.”

    Sports Illustrated reports Cowboys expected to be 'heavy buyers' at trade deadline

    Coverage suggests Dallas will pursue an impact defensive player, particularly a pass rusher, with Josh Sweat (Arizona) and Maxx Crosby (Las Vegas) named as potential targets. Analysis from Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon classifies the Cowboys as 'heavy buyers' entering Week 8, citing their chance to run away with the NFC East.

    “The Cowboys are still favored to win the NFC East in what may be a make-or-break season for the head coach and the quarterback. In order to finally make waves in January, they likely need another high-impact defender.”
