Jerry Jones Gets Blunt on Potential Cowboys Trades as Deadline Approaches

After six games, the Dallas Cowboys stand at 2-4, having lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers. As the November 10 NFL trade deadline looms, owner Jerry Jones has signaled the team could be active for roster improvements. Jones made it clear any potential trade would need to bolster the roster immediately, not just for next season.

When asked about the likelihood of selling players before the deadline, Jones firmly stated, "No." Dallas has already bolstered their defense by acquiring cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Steelers, trading away future draft picks. The team has three games remaining before the deadline, with upcoming matchups against the Eagles, Cardinals and Colts.

Defensive improvements remain a priority, particularly against the run, and defensive coach Mike Pettine has been added for additional support. Speculation has centered on bringing in linebacker Maxx Crosby from the Raiders, edge rushers Josh Sweat from Arizona and Zach Sieler from Miami, though these are potential options, not confirmed moves.

Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown five interceptions this season, while wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has 48 receptions for 577 yards and four touchdowns. The Cowboys will have to evaluate their roster moving forward as the deadline approaches.
