Jerry Jones drops MASSIVE Cowboys trade report...

Jerry Jones just revealed the truth to Cowboys fans on how he plans on handling this year's trade deadline. And I'll be honest, the master plan that Jerry has is not what anybody was hoping for. On Friday, on 105.3 The Fan, Jones said that he doesn't feel like Dallas needs to make a trade to keep up with the other teams around the league. And if the Cowboys do give up draft picks, he said it would have to be a dynamic situation. Now, right now, Dallas is three and four. The deadline is Tuesday, November 10th at 4 p.m. Eastern. And the draft picks, Jerry says he won't give up easily. Well, there are not many left anyways. So what exactly is the plan from Jerry? Is it actually smart? And what would it take for him to make a move? Well, stay with me because there's one number about those picks that explains all of it, and it's coming up in today's show. Let's start with exactly what he said, because the wording is the whole story. Jones was on the KNC Masterpiece on 105.3 The Fan on Friday, and the Athletics' John Machado shared the key part. Jones does not feel the Cowboys need to make a trade to keep up with the other teams around the league. And on draft picks, Jones said, quote, it would have to be a dynamic situation to give up draft picks. Not a good player, not a nice fit, a dynamic situation. But he did not slam the door as he also said, quote, there's no such thing as not entertaining trade offers and quote, just because you would go there doesn't mean you do it, but it's worth considering or thinking about. So that seems to be the master plan. Listen to every call, don't flinch, and only pay for something that's dynamic. It sounds simple, but there's a reason Jerry can say it, and a reason it could cost this team moving forward. However, to get to the trade deadline and still be buyers, the Cowboys have to win this upcoming weekend against a Cardinals team that has given them trouble in the past. Now, right now on Kalshi, the Cowboys are at 74% to beat the Cardinals this Sunday, but of course, there's a lot in that.

So what made Jerry so calm all of a sudden? Well, I think it's because Dallas is 3-4, and in this division, 3-4 is nowhere near dead. The Cowboys are also coming off a win 38-21 in Philadelphia on Monday night. They've scored 34 or more in three of their seven games in the offense. It's not really the problem. The problem is what it's always been for the past four years now, the other side of the ball. Dallas gave up 34 to Baltimore, 30 to Houston, and 24 to Tampa Bay. You can score 38 in Philadelphia and still be 3-4 because the defense keeps giving it back. In the NFC East, it's wide open, as I mentioned. The Giants are the leaders at 4-2-1, and they're on bye this week. Dallas trails only New York, and sits two games behind them in the loss column. Then there's the schedule. Arizona on Sunday is a 2-5 team. Then you have Indianapolis, who are also a 2-5 team, and they're selling off everything like a fire sale. And the deadline lands the day after Week 9's Monday night game. So Jerry gets to watch two winnable games before he has to decide anything. That's the plan, and that's why he sounds so calm.

Now the picks because that's what the quote unquote dynamic situation is really about. Dallas has five picks in the 2027 draft. A first, its own second, a fourth from Pittsburgh, and two seventh round picks, its own and one from New England. Only two of those five are in the first three rounds. And a little caveat to that first-round pick, it's the one that they got in the Micah Parsons trade, and Dallas owes the Jets the better of their two firsts in 2027 from the Quinnen Williams trade. So, it's kept at just the one, and it'll be the worser of the two options. In the last year, Jerry has already made four trades. Quinnen Williams, last November, Rashawn Gary in March, Broderick Jones in August, and then, of course, Joey Porter Jr. this season on October 1st. And look what Porter cost, a 2028 second-round pick plus a conditional 2027 sixth, and he's on a one-year deal worth just north of $3 million. And the Cowboys, they're not expected to extend him at the moment, so Jerry already paid a second-round pick for what might be a rental. And we've seen this movie before. On November 4th, last year's deadline, Jerry traded for Quentin Williams. He sent the Jets a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick, and of course, Mozzie Smith. In Dallas at the time, they were 3-5-1. So that's the thing about Jerry. He says it's unlikely... And then he'll go out and do it. A first and a second for a defensive tackle on a team that was 3-5-1. Dynamic isn't a wall, it's just a price tag. So when Jerry says dynamic, I think it kind of means something different. Don't make me do that again for someone who isn't a difference maker, is what he's trying to say. And he has been saying different things all month. So then let's lay it out in order. At the NFL's fall meeting last week, Jones said, quote, I'll be real clear. I could see being active at the trade deadline if it was for something that could help the team this year. Then just this Tuesday, quote, if we could do it where we sit right now, I would add to it. But the adding to it is a big statement. It's unlikely we'll get the opportunity from outside coming in. But if it's there, I'll do it. And then, of course, Friday, saying, quote, it would have to be a dynamic situation. Three interviews, three versions, but every time the door stays open. And then there's another twist. Yardbarker reported that Jones hinted he would absolutely take calls on his own players after the Arizona game. So Dallas, they could end up being a seller team too. Now, of course, nobody said which players. The names that keep coming up are, of course, George Pickens, who's on a $27.3 million franchise tag. But no report says that Dallas is actively shopping him at the moment. So what exactly would a dynamic situation actually look like? Well, let's start with where this team is its weakest. And that's the sacks. Their sack leader is defensive tackle Quenton Williams with three, and Rashawn Gary, the edge rusher they traded for back in March, has just one. And it shows up in the yards. Going into the Eagles game, CBS Sports said Dallas is the third worst in the NFL in total yards allowed per game at 382.5. The name to start with is, of course, Josh Sweat in Arizona. ESPN's Jimmy Fowler said on October 21st, quote, Josh Sweat to Dallas makes a lot of sense. And October 26th, Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee show that he could see Dallas going after him. Right now, our cap sheet has Sweat at $16.4 million of cap this year, then $23.6 million in 2027, and then that same price again in 2028. Dallas has $15.9 million in cap space, as the reported price is a third-round or fourth-rounder pick, plus the contract, you'd have to figure out a way to maneuver that into your cap space unit. And Dallas, they don't have a 2027 third-round pick, but it does have a fourth from Pittsburgh. So Sweat is the cheap, realistic move. The question is whether Jerry calls that a dynamic move. Then, of course, there's the big swing, Max Crosby. Dallas offered the Raiders a first-round pick three separate times in March, and Las Vegas said no every single time. However, now the Raiders are 3-4, and Schefter said the talks have lost a little bit of steam. And here's the irony. The first-round pick Dallas has left is the one they got from Micah Parsons. So the same pick that would be the centerpiece of a Crosby trade is the pick that came from trading away the last elite pass rusher. A deal like that is dynamic, but Baltimore agreed to two firsts for him, and the deal fell apart when he failed his physical, and Dallas So here's the answer that I'm going to go with. Jerry's plan is right, but only for the next two games. If Dallas beats Arizona and wins in Indianapolis, it's 5-4 with the Giants in reach. You don't burn your picks on a team that's already climbing. So is waiting the right move? I think so. This team could easily end up in a spot where it falls the next two games. You're under .500 and you're looking up at the Giants and saying, OK, it's not worth it to buy. But if you go in there and you win these next two games, you're 5-4, let's say the Giants falter after the bye week, and you're right there with them. Well, in that case scenario, I think it's worth it to go out, buy, get somebody, and add to this team, because as we know with Jerry, the older he gets, the more he is hungry for that Super Bowl. So, stay patient through Indianapolis. If the pass rush is still a hole after that, you can call Arizona about sweat and maybe pay for a fourth-round pick. Not a second, though. I don't want to give that up, and obviously you don't have a third this year. I would be hesitant to give away a third pick. I think a fourth and I'd add in a sixth would be something I could do. But let's leave Crosby alone, unless the Raiders want to drop the price, because I'm not giving up two first-round picks. And unless they'll take a first and, I think, a fourth, I'm kind of out at this point on him. And if Dallas loses, of course, this week to a 2-5 Cardinals team at home, Well, then we're going to flip the conversation. Jerry stops talking about adding and starts taking calls on his own players like he mentioned. So, let's just quickly go over. Five picks, four trades, three and four, and 11 days until the deadline. That's everything you need to know. But what do you think? Should Jerry make a trade before this year's trade deadline? Drop a Y or an N in the comment section. Y for yes or N for no. Thanks for watching, and we, of course, will see you in the next video. For now, peace out.
