Jerry Jones, the Cowboys’ owner, just dropped a bombshell, stating he “could see being active at the trade deadline if it was something that could help the team this year.” This isn’t just talk either, coming after they already swung a deal for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. at the end of September. Given the team’s dismal 2-4 start, with back-to-back rough losses to the Buccaneers and Packers, this comment is a head-scratcher for a lot of folks.
Still In It: Why Jones Isn’t Selling Yet
Despite the rough start and those two really bad performances, Jones is still convinced his team is capable of way more than what we’ve seen on the field. He made it crystal clear at the league meetings on Wednesday that he can absolutely envision making another move to pump up their 2026 roster. What’s even wilder is he doesn’t see *any* scenario where the Cowboys become sellers, pointing out that their division doesn’t have a runaway favorite right now. It means he believes they are still in the mix, no matter what the record says today.
Three Games to Change Everything
The clock is ticking, and the Cowboys have three crucial games on the schedule before the November 10 trade deadline. They’re set to face the Eagles, Cardinals, and Colts. How they play in those matchups isn’t just about winning or losing, it’s going to be the ultimate test of how motivated Jones and the front office are to actually give up future assets. Are they ready to put everything on the line to boost their chances for a playoff spot this year? These next few weeks are going to show us exactly where their heads are at.
The next game against the Eagles is massive. It’s not just another game, it’s a statement, and it’s going to tell us everything about whether Jones’s vision for this team’s potential is a reality or just wishful thinking.
