Dallas Cowboys Explore Multiple Defensive Trades Amid Injury Concerns

The Dallas Cowboys are actively exploring trades to enhance their defense as they navigate a challenging 3-4-1 season. Quarterback Dak Prescott emphasized the importance of internal improvement but acknowledged that trades could help the team, especially after failed attempts to acquire edge rushers Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson—both of whom their teams refused to trade. The Cowboys are also dealing with internal issues, including cornerback Trevon Diggs' injury and apparent discontent, which has fueled trade rumors. Following the significant offseason trade of star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers, the Cowboys are reportedly targeting New York Jets' Jermaine Johnson II to bolster their pass rush. Additionally, with the secondary struggling and Diggs sidelined, Dallas is considering acquiring Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Joshua Williams to reinforce their defense. Overall, the Cowboys face pressure to improve their roster through strategic trades before the November 4 trade deadline to remain competitive this season.
