Cowboys Spark Trade Buzz Ahead of Deadline
With the NFL trade deadline looming just over a week away, the Dallas Cowboys have emerged as a team to keep an eye on. According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Cowboys have been actively engaging with “most of the league” to assess potential trade opportunities.
Dallas in Pursuit of Defensive Help
Owner Jerry Jones, alongside his son Stephen, has made it clear that they are open to making moves to strengthen the team. While Jerry initially downplayed the extent of their outreach, stating he hadn’t made many calls and often uses media outlets to convey interest, it appears this was a bit of an understatement. Fowler reported on SportsCenter that the Cowboys are indeed one of the most proactive teams as the trade deadline approaches.
Fowler provided insights into the Cowboys’ strategy, revealing that they have reached out to numerous teams to identify available players who could bolster their front seven. “The Cowboys, I’m told, have really called around to several teams. Pretty much most of the league to try to survey the market, see who could be available in that front seven,” he stated. This indicates a clear focus on enhancing their defensive line and linebacking corps.
Rumors and Speculations
The recent surge in trade rumors, including the speculation around Raiders’ Maxx Crosby, aligns with Fowler’s statements. While it seems the Raiders are inclined to retain Crosby, the Cowboys’ search extends across all tiers of potential acquisitions. Their determination to find defensive reinforcements underscores a proactive approach in a competitive NFC landscape.
As the trade deadline approaches, anticipation mounts regarding how the Cowboys will navigate potential deals to improve their roster, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
