Dallas Cowboys Go Shopping: Using our trade simulator to find help for a struggling defense, 3 moves that work

A to Z Sports analyzed potential trade targets for the 2-4 Dallas Cowboys using an internal trade simulator, following owner Jerry Jones's comments that the team intends to buy rather than sell before the deadline. The analysis highlights defensive targets including edge rushers Tuli Tuipulotu of the Los Angeles Chargers and Alex Highsmith of the Pittsburgh Steelers, alongside Miami Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

The writer argues that Tuipulotu represents the ideal target for Dallas to bolster its edge rush without sacrificing key long-term assets. The piece also evaluates Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat but advises against acquiring him due to declining production, while dismissing hypothetical blockbuster sales involving wide receiver CeeDee Lamb as unrealistic.
