"The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly looking to wheel and deal leading up to the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Cowboys have made it known in league circles that they are "open for business," and in search of defensive help. However, an anonymous NFL general manager told Russini they believe the Cowboys "should go get a running back.""
"Prior to the start of the 2025 regular season, the Cowboys traded superstar pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, so it is no surprise that Dallas has struggled defensively. The Cowboys are last in the league in total defense with 411.7 yards allowed per game, and 31st in scoring defense, allowing 30.7 points per contest. Conversely, Dallas has been excellent on offense with a league-leading 387.5 total yards per game, plus 29.7 points per game, which ranks third."
"The driving force behind Carolina's offensive success against the Cowboys was running back Rico Dowdle, who was previously with the Cowboys from 2020 to 2024. In his first game against his old team, Dowdle rushed for 183 yards on 30 carries, while also catching four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. That naturally led to questions about whether the Cowboys erred in letting Dowdle leave via free agency. However, Dallas has maintained a strong running game in its own right this season."
The Cowboys have declared themselves open for business ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline and are pursuing defensive help while some voices suggest adding a running back. The team traded Micah Parsons before the 2025 season and now ranks last in total defense (411.7 yards allowed) and 31st in scoring defense (30.7 points allowed). The offense leads the league with 387.5 yards and averages 29.7 points, yet the team holds a 2-3-1 record. Carolina scored 30 points fueled by ex-Cowboy Rico Dowdle's 183 rushing yards and receiving touchdown. The front office has also generated controversy around Diggs.
