  "account": "According to recent trade rumors, the Dallas Cowboys are considering a move to bolster their defense by acquiring either edge rusher Josh Sweat from the Arizona Cardinals or Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed his willingness to make a trade during the current deadline, despite the team's struggles at the defensive end position. The team's inability to generate consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks through their first few games of the season has been a notable concern. Sweat, who is in Arizona's final season, is seen as a potential starter, while Crosby is viewed as a valuable asset who could provide long-term security for the Cowboys' defense. Both players are highly regarded, with Sweat currently viewed as the more likely acquisition, as the Cardinals have struggled in recent weeks and previously attempted to trade Crosby, which fell through due to the Ravens backing out.",
