The Dallas Cowboys are taking a stance that is very hard to understand ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline

A to Z Sports writer Mauricio Rodriguez argues that the Dallas Cowboys are taking a baffling stance by considering buying ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Following a 33-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals that dropped Dallas to 3-5, co-owner and Director of Player Personnel Stephen Jones asserted the team is close to turning things around and refused to rule out making trades to improve before November 10.

Rodriguez questions Jones' optimism, asserting that the Cowboys have continually failed to stack wins under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Instead of surrendering future draft capital, the writer suggests Dallas should consider being sellers, potentially moving wide receiver George Pickens if no contract extension is planned, rather than making short-sighted additions.
