Jones: Boys 'still in it,' open to defensive trade
"FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is not ready to concede anything about what the 2025 season can be even with his team's 2-3-1 record. Disappointed with Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers, Jones was buoyed by the Washington Commanders' loss to the Chicago Bears, which keeps the Cowboys in the chase in the NFC East."
"The NFL trade deadline is three weeks from today. The Cowboys have extra first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 from the trade of Micah Parsons and $31 million in salary-cap space, according to NFLPA figures. In 2018, the Cowboys were 3-4 and scuffling offensively, which led to a trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first round pick."
Jerry Jones is unwilling to concede the 2025 season despite a 2-3-1 record and a recent loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was encouraged by the Washington Commanders' loss, which keeps Dallas competitive in the NFC East while the Eagles lead 4-2 but have lost two straight. Jones cited parity, injury variability, and the strong play of quarterback Dak Prescott as reasons for optimism. The NFL trade deadline is three weeks away. The Cowboys possess extra 2026 and 2027 first-round picks from the Micah Parsons trade and about $31 million in salary-cap space. The team may pursue a trade after a defense that ranks last in yards per game (411.7).
