Aldon Smith isn’t going anywhere, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says (Twitter link via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas News). Jones, while confirming reports of the Seahawks’ inquiry, stressed that he’s not interested in moving the defensive lineman.
Smith has been one of the few bright spots on Dallas’ D, leading the way with four sacks. His one-year, $2MM deal has proven to be a tremendous value, and the Cowboys will be happy to double that amount if Smith achieves the necessary sack incentives. If anything, it sounds like the Cowboys will be looking to extend their deal with the former All-Pro.
The Cowboys have already addressed the D-Line with two trades this week, bringing Texans nose tackle Eli Ankou to Dallas and shipping out defensive end Everson Griffen. They won’t go for a hat trick by moving Smith before today’s deadline, nor do they anticipate making any more deals. With that said, Jones won’t rule out the possibility of making a trade before 4pm ET/3pm CT.
At 2-6, some have wondered if the Cowboys should seize the opportunity to rebuild. Or, at least, retool their roster. Then again, thanks to the state of the NFC East, the Cowboys are not totally out of playoff contention.
He actually has 5 sacks, not 4.

Classic Jerry. No year is a wasted year, we’re this close….
Jerra nobody cares but you being the attention grabber you have to comment. Your team is no longer relevant and hasn’t been since The mid 90’s. We all get that why can’t you?
He was asked the question in a radio interview and answered it. So obviously someone cares. He didn’t just make a comment randomly cause he thought you cared. And the Cowboys have been relevant as recently as 2014 and 2016, so your takes are awful, and they don’t make any sense.
