"By now, entering the halfway point of the 2025 NFL season, we have a pretty good idea where exactly the Dallas Cowboys are ranked around the league. Offensively they have one of the best units in league, but on the flipside, they are no doubt among the worst defensive units in the league, if not the worst. That's not generally the recipe for success."
"With the way Dallas' roster is currently constructed and with the November 4th NFL trade deadline quickly approaching, there's been a lot of talk about them attempting to upgrade the defense via trade. We've already heard names like Maxx Crosby and Trey Henderson tossed out there as potential targets, but if we are being completely honest with ourselves, there's not a single trade or two that's really going to help improve the defense all that much."
"The Cowboys defense is in such bad shape it would seem unwise to throw away any future draft capital in the attempt to improve things. In fact, Dallas' future draft capital after the Micah Parsons trade that landed them the Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks the next two years is looking more and more appealing with each and every game we see the Cowboys defense get embarrassed."
At the midpoint of the 2025 NFL season the Dallas Cowboys possess one of the league's best offenses while fielding one of the worst defenses, undermining overall success. The November 4 trade deadline approaches amid speculation about defensive upgrades such as Maxx Crosby and Trey Henderson, but single trades are unlikely to fix systemic issues. Sacrificing future draft capital for marginal improvements appears unwise. The Micah Parsons trade provided the Cowboys with Green Bay first-round selections in 2026 and 2027, giving flexibility to draft multiple high-end prospects or to use picks to trade up or down as needed.
