Cowboys Reportedly Expect Quiet Trade Deadline

The Dallas Cowboys made no major moves at the NFL trade deadline, with Jerry Jones signaling that a significant deal was unlikely and reports indicating the team was not shopping George Pickens. At 4-5 and still within reach of the NFC East race, Dallas chose to keep its roster intact rather than spend future resources, despite needs on defense and speculation about a Pickens trade. Pickens’ future remains a key question: holding onto him makes the most sense if Dallas can keep him beyond this season, but negotiations over a long-term contract have not produced an agreement. The decision preserves the Cowboys’ chance to compete now, while leaving the franchise to address its roster and Pickens’ contract in the offseason.
