Jerry Jones made it clear he expected the Cowboys’ continuity on the roster and along the sidelines to generate a strong showing in 2024. The team’s owner and general manager has since seen his team encounter a number of issues en route to a 3-5 start to the campaign. 
When speaking to the media after Dallas’ loss to Atlanta, Jones said the team “has some things in the mix” with respect to the upcoming trade deadline. The Cowboys have until Tuesday afternoon to swing one or more trades aimed at boosting their roster for the second half of the campaign. Jones added a buyer’s stance is likely on Dallas’ part.
“We’ll probably do a couple things this week,” Jones said (via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram). “I’m a long way from being dismayed about this team this year.”
Heading into Week 9, Jones admitted the season has been more of a struggle than he anticipated for Dallas. Those comments opened the door to moves being made on the trade front, as the Cowboys could look to make one or more additions in an attempt to remain in playoff contention. The team has posted a 12-5 record in each of the past three seasons; matching that mark is now essentially impossible, but a wild-card berth in the NFC is not out of reach at this point.
Adding depth on defense in particular could be useful given the Cowboys’ injuries along the edge. The team’s offense could certainly use shoring up as well, though, and plenty of players on both sides of the ball have been connected to a trade in recent weeks. Dallas has over $21MM in cap space, so a rental addition will certainly be feasible. Given Jones’ indication multiple moves could be coming, the Cowboys will be among the teams worth watching over the next two days.
He may as well sell and get some picks. That back half of the schedule doesn’t look good for Dallas the way they’re playing.
You’re giving Jerry too much credit. The worst owner/GM in sports, he most likely sells picks for some players that don’t move the needle at all.
Dolan would like a word…but it sure is close.
Dolan being the Knick’s owner? Knicks are completely stacked right now and seem like they can overtake Boston. Cowboys are going in 29 years of sucking. The one chance they had was the famous Dez Bryant catch non catch
Talking bout the same knicks team that took about 30 years to get back on track??
Too little too late moron
I’d like to say Dallas isn’t totally cooked because they will be getting Parsons etc back from injuries. But their offense is just pathetic. Quite a few teams will be fighting for a that final WC spot
Cowboys are going nowhere as long as Dak Prescott is the starting qb
“Dead money” Prescott.
With Dak Prescott having a hammy issue and Trey Lance unable to surpass Cooper Rush, I can see Jerra trading for Gardner Minchew.
The Minchew Mustache Mania is a perfect fit for Jones and Them Boy’s….
Trey Lance.. why did they bother trading for him? He honestly can’t beat out Cooper Rush to be the backup? Everything Cowboys just seems so tainted right now
The barber wants Dallas to trade for a QB who was benched in the 2nd half of a lopsided loss to Cincinnati?
Given the lost today, they’re pretty much cooked for this year unless there’s a spectacular turn round……which could happen but with the Eagles and Commanders playing very well…odds are against that…..
Jerry always thinks if he can add a few more shiny objects to his roster his team will compete for Super Bowls. They never develop enough complementary players to help out the stars.
The Cowboys aren’t going to have their season turned around by adding a marginal player or two – as nobody is offering up real difference makers. The Cowboys (like the 49ers) are simply struggling with injuries that they mostly avoided in previous years..
Injuries are an excuse for bad coaching and poor team selection. Look to how Dallas brought back Zeke Elliott after letting Tony Pollard leave as a free agent.
Micah Parsons to the Eagles for a FRP and conditional 3rd.
