π¨ Jones Stirs the Pot: Cowboys Owner Confirms Trade, Teases More After Disappointing Loss
ARLINGTON, TXβIn a move guaranteed to dominate the NFL news cycle, Dallas Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones confirmed the team had finalized a trade, with the potential for “a couple more,” sending Cowboys Nation into a frenzy just hours before the Tuesday trade deadline.
The announcement came on the heels of a demoralizing 27-17 home loss to the 2-5 Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football, a defeat that dropped the Cowboys to a disheartening 3-5-1 and underscored glaring defensive deficiencies.
Jones, speaking to the media, confirmed the swapβdeclining to name the playerβbut dropping a massive hint: the new arrival would be on the field “immediately” to address the team’s ongoing “shortcomings.” This strongly suggests a defensive acquisition, likely an edge rusher or a talented defensive back, areas where the Cowboys have struggled mightily since losing key players.
Despite the setback against the Cardinals, which saw the defense shredded by backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, Jones insisted the loss would not deter his plans. “Weβll see what tomorrow brings,” Jones stated, confirming he was still “leaning toward” finalizing at least one more deal.
The message is clear: the Cowboys are buyers, not sellers, at the deadline. With a challenging schedule ahead, Jones appears determined to leverage the trade market in a last-ditch effort to salvage a season that quarterback Dak Prescott called “now or never.” The world waits for the deadline to pass and for the identity of Dallas’s new difference-maker to be revealed.
