""A lot of action going on right now in terms of trading, we certainly have made a trade and we may make a couple more trades before that deadline," Jones said ( via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News). "We've made one. We possibly could make two more and I'm going to wait and let you read about that when we send the papers in tomorrow.""
"Based on those comments, the swap Jones is referring to has been agreed upon by all parties but will not be finalized with the league office until Tuesday (which marks the deadline). It will likely not be until that point that the full details of the trade are revealed. Jones did add, however, that the player heading to Dallas via this move will be on the field "immediately" and his addition will "address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.""
"It is not difficult to predict this mystery trade is aimed at providing a needed upgrade on defense for the Cowboys. Dallas ranks second in the league in scoring but 31st in points allowed on a per-game basis. Reinforcements will be coming relatively soon in terms of injured players returning to health, including most notably linebacker DeMarvion Overshown working toward his season debut. Still, help in the front seven or the secondary would be welcomed."
The Cowboys have made at least one trade that will be finalized with the league office at the Tuesday deadline, and additional moves remain possible. The incoming player will be available immediately and is expected to address specific defensive shortcomings. Dallas ranks second in the league in scoring but 31st in points allowed per game and 30th against the pass. Injured contributors are returning soon, most notably linebacker DeMarvion Overshown working toward his season debut, while linebacker Jack Sanborn was placed on injured reserve. The team entered Monday with nearly $31 million in cap space to facilitate transactions.
