""I don't know what's realistic," Jones said about a trade addition ( via ESPN's Todd Archer). "Could one better player - if we didn't pay too big a price to have a better player on defense to possibly help?... Are we one player away on defense? I think we're not. I think we're more than that away, but what we're closer to than it looks, in my mind, is executing better on defense.""
"Many will no doubt remain skeptical about the Cowboys' ability to rebound defensively, at least to the point of helping the team emerge as a true contender. A rental addition would likely do little in that regard, so standing pat on the trade front could prove to be a sensible move. On the other hand, Dallas ranks second in the league in scoring and fourth in total offense on a per game basis; even a move to mediocrity on the other side of the ball could all"
Calls have been made about acquiring high-profile edge rushers such as Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson, but no imminent move exists. Owner Jerry Jones indicated willingness to trade some draft capital acquired in the Micah Parsons blockbuster, though a midseason transaction would be surprising and even a smaller deal may not materialize. The Cowboys fell to 3-4-1 after a lopsided loss to the Broncos, with the defense surrendering over 400 yards for the fourth time in 2025. Internal reinforcements like linebacker DeMarvion Overshown are expected to return to full health. Jones suggested one player will not fix the defense and emphasized executing better. Dallas ranks second in scoring and fourth in total offense, which could offset defensive shortcomings.
