Dallas Cowboys Confirm Trade to Address Defensive Shortcomings Ahead NFL Deadline

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has confirmed that the team has made at least one trade prior to the NFL trade deadline, with the possibility of additional deals before the cutoff. The announced trade, details of which remain undisclosed, is expected to provide immediate impact and address the Cowboys' significant defensive weaknesses, as the team ranks near the bottom in total defense and points allowed. Despite a 3-5-1 record and recent losses, Jones remains open to improving the roster, emphasizing the need for a player who makes sense both now and for the future, while expressing confidence in the team's core. The Cowboys have acquired valuable draft assets, including two first-round picks from trading linebacker Micah Parsons, which they are prepared to use strategically to strengthen the squad. Jones has acknowledged differing opinions on making trades but insists he is carefully weighing all options until the deadline passes. The team's moves reflect urgency to bolster the defense and salvage their playoff hopes as the trade deadline approaches.
