Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Leans Toward NFL Trade Amid 3-5-1 Season

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been actively involved in the NFL trade market leading up to the trade deadline, despite the team's recent struggles and a 3-5-1 record after a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Jones initially claimed that a trade had been completed but later clarified that no trade was officially done yet, though he is leaning toward finalizing a deal soon. The Cowboys are seeking players who can provide immediate impact, particularly to bolster a depleted defense after trading away star pass rusher Micah Parsons before the season. Jones emphasized the importance of staying competitive and not shifting into a selling mode despite the losing streak. His statements have been somewhat contradictory and confusing, reflecting the competitive urgency but also the uncertainty surrounding the trades. The team remains hopeful to turn their season around and secure a playoff spot with the right acquisitions.
