π° Trade Tsunami Looms: Jones Vows Clarity on Speculated Targets Chubb, Hendrickson, and Wilson
ARLINGTON, TXβThe Dallas Cowboys are currently on the clock. Following owner Jerry Jones’s dramatic, but vague, announcement that a trade was finalizedβand more were possibleβthe focus has now shifted entirely to the identities of the defensive stars rumored to be heading to Texas: Defensive Ends Bradley Chubb and Trey Hendrickson, and Linebacker Logan Wilson.
Jones, who famously teased the media by stating the player would “immediately be on the field” to address the team’s “shortcomings,” is expected to release an official statement today as the 4:00 PM ET NFL Trade Deadline approaches. This statement will confirm or deny the whirlwind of speculation that has consumed Cowboys Nation after a disastrous home loss on Monday night.
Multiple high-profile league insiders have reported that the Cowboys front office is deep in discussions with both the Miami Dolphins regarding pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and the Cincinnati Bengals for both the elite edge presence of Trey Hendrickson and the stabilizing force of disgruntled linebacker Logan Wilson.
The calculus is simple: after trading away defensive cornerstone Micah Parsons in August, the Cowboys’ defense has cratered, ranking near the bottom of the league. Chubb and Hendrickson represent immediate, high-impact pass-rushing threats, while Wilson could instantly upgrade a struggling linebacking corps.
While Jones had previously downplayed the potential for a “blockbuster” move, his late-night comments confirm that at least one impactful deal is in place. Today, all eyes turn to the Cowboys’ facility, where Jones will officially put an end to the speculation, revealing whether the new addition is one of the premium targets, or if the “mystery player” comes from elsewhere. The future of the Cowboys’ season hinges on this clarity.
