Jerry Jones Does Not Anticipate Cowboys Adding On Defense; Rumors Persist On Moves

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated that it is unlikely the team will add outside defensive talent before the November 10 trade deadline, despite leaving the door open for potential opportunities. The Cowboys sit at 3-4 following a Monday night win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but their defense ranks among the bottom of the league, sitting 30th in EPA per play and tied for last in sacks with seven.

Despite Jones downplaying expectations, trade rumors persist linking Dallas to edge rushers such as Arizona Cardinals defensive end Josh Sweat and Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. Dallas has already spent significant draft capital on past trades, including acquiring Joey Porter Jr. and Quinnen Williams, limiting their available assets.
