Jerry Jones is hinting that the Cowboys have a deal done ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
What exactly is that trade? Jones didn’t say during an interview on SiriusXM Radio on Monday while speaking with Stephen A. Smith, as well as during a stop on ESPN.
“A lot of action going on right now in terms of trading. We certainly have made a trade and we may make a couple more trades before that deadline,” Jones said, according to the Dallas Morning News. “We’ve made one. We possibly could make two more, and I’m going to wait and let you read about that when we send the papers in tomorrow.”
The Cowboys owner added that the player would “address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.”
The Cowboys are second in a significantly weakened NFC East with a 3-4-1 record this season, going into their Monday night game with the Cardinals.
Jones continued to hint at the deal without saying what the trade was during a stop over on The Worldwide Leader in Sports.
“The details are tomorrow,” Jones said. “There’s a good chance that we’ll have some things to talk about tomorrow.”
The Cowboys have been looking for a pass rusher on the trade market, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported over the weekend.
But even if the Cowboys do make a move for a defensive player before the 4 p.m. deadline, Cowboys great Troy Aikman doesn’t see his former team being just one defensive player away from being “competitive.”
“No, I don’t believe so,” Aikman said when Jason Kelce broached the subject on ESPN. “I think Micah Parsons would have made a difference, absolutely. Now would that change their record that much? I don’t know. He is a difference maker, but those guys aren’t typically available, so I don’t know if they can bring in somebody like him.
“I don’t know what that move is. I don’t know who it might be. I think it’s interesting you announce there’s a trade, but you’re not going to announce who it is.”
