What to know

  • Cardinals are 2-5 and in last place in the NFC West, positioning them as sellers ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, having already dealt Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston.
  • Schefter's report that the Cowboys scouted Sweat in person during Sunday's Dallas-Arizona game intensified weeks of ESPN speculation connecting the two sides.
  • Dallas has limited draft capital for a deal, holding only four 2027 picks after already trading future assets for Joey Porter Jr.
  • Green Bay is also floated as a suitor because defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon previously coached Sweat in Philadelphia and Arizona.
