Cowboys at 3-4 weigh defensive trade before Nov. 10 deadline

At 3-4, the Dallas Cowboys are weighing whether to add defensive help before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, as their strong offense is being undermined by a defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in key measures. Owner Jerry Jones says Dallas would consider a deal only if it presents exceptional value, while executive Stephen Jones says the team remains open to adding players. Potential targets mentioned include Arizona edge rusher Josh Sweat and Las Vegas’ Maxx Crosby, but Dallas has already spent significant draft capital on Joey Porter Jr. and Quinnen Williams and has only four picks in the 2027 draft. The Cowboys’ upcoming games against Arizona and Indianapolis could help determine whether they make a move.
