More Moves Coming... Report Reveals HUGE Update | Dallas Cowboys News

More moves are coming for the Dallas Cowboys, as after Jerry Jones said, don't count it out on the trade deadline day, the deadline passed, and the only thing the Cowboys added was a practice squad running back. No pass rusher, no linebacker, nothing for a defense that the owner himself says is not where it should be. But his son, Stephen, keeps saying the same thing. A pressure player could help us. The door is here and it's free agency and three names have kept coming up when it surrounds the Dallas Cowboys and their defense. Joey Bosa, Bobby Wagner, and Leonard Floyd. One of them fits exactly what Dallas asked for. One of them is the safe floor and one has no link to this team just yet, but let's sort it out. Let's start with how quiet it got. Jerry said on November 10th, I don't look for us to make a significant trade today. On November 3rd, a reporter asked if it was worth improving the team at the deadline. He said, Yes, it depends on the deal at this particular time, and I don't see anything. Now, on October 27th, he said the defense is really not where he expected it to be. So the owner says the defense is off, and the deadline gives him one practice squad signing, and no trades. Obviously, they did get Joey Porter Jr., but maybe you always think that you could get more. Now, that signing was Keiondre Miller running back after Tyler Goodson hurt his knee. It's not help for the defense. It's a backup plan for the backfield. Now, on the same day, they also released Reddy Stewart, a defensive back from the practice squad. So the defense ended up actually losing a body on deadline day. Dak Prescott saw this coming on November 8th. He said, if you can always add, go do it. Even if you think you have enough, if you can make sure you have enough to get better, then go do it. But Dak Prescott saw this coming on November 8th. He said, I know there's a lot of comments about these, so make sure before we move on. Comment Bosa or Wagner. Who should Dallas call first to help out their defense? On the trade deadline, it was supposed to help the Dallas Cowboys get above nine wins because on Cashy, the Cowboys, they're at 44% chance to win nine or more games this season. On Cashy, you're trading directly against other users, not the house like a traditional sports book. You're buying yes or no contracts and the outcome of events across sports, politics, or even the weather. Now, for example, I'm trading on the Cowboys to win nine or more games, and an $80 trade pays out $183.35. If you're interested in trying out Cashy, use the link in the description or in the pinned comment, And when new users sign up for the code DIGEN, And look at what the defense gave up in the last three. 21 in Philadelphia, 33 to Arizona, and 23 at Indianapolis. 77 points in three games, 26 a game. The Cowboys went 2-1 in that stretch, but only because the offense scored 38, 30, and 27. Now take Sunday at Indianapolis. At halftime, Dallas led 17-7. Then the Colts outscored Dallas 16-10 in the second half and finished 27-3, just barely getting the win. A 10-point lead at the half turned into a four-point win. It's a defense that cannot close a game, and the schedule, it's not getting much easier. Look at the sacks. Quentin Williams leads the team with five this season, and Donovan Ezeaku with two and a half. Rashawn Gary and Caleb Downs have two each as well. That is one player getting home and everyone else chipping in a sack or two. It's not a pass rush. It's a rotation of almost. And it's not like they did nothing. They traded for Joey Porter Jr. on September 30th, and they traded for Rashawn Gary alongside drafting Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence. But the injury report hasn't helped them. P.J. Locke, Jalen Thompson, Marcellus LeFon, and Jonathan Bullard have all spent time on injury reserve this season, and now Porter is missing some time, of course, with his ankle injury. So Stephen Jones asked for a pressure player on November 6th, and he added, I right now wouldn't say anything's imminent. Nothing's imminent. It's nothing. It's a man leaving the door open, so who walks through? Before the names, the money, because the cap is the real reason this deadline was probably quiet. Alright now, right now the Dallas Cowboys have about $16 million in cap space, so not a ton of money to sign, but it could be something. Now dead money alone is about $46 million, which is about 15% of the cap spent on players who are not on the roster. Now the active roster is just about $15.9 million of the space, so the number depends on, you know, how you count it. But either way, signing has to be cheap or fit inside of that $16 million range. And that matters because Bosa made $12.6 million last year in Buffalo, and one projection had him for about $11 million this year. So the question is not who is good, it's who is good, cheap, and willing to play. That list is short. Start with the one that matches the ask, Joey Bosa. Last season with Buffalo, he had five sacks in 15 games, five forced fumbles, which led the whole NFL, and 47 pressures. Pro Football Focus graded his pass rush at an 88.7. One writer on 105.3 The Fan called him the strongest fit, but said he is not a guy who is going to be double-digit sacks anymore. Now, it's an honest read, and he will not lead the league in sacks, but he does get to the quarterback, and he takes the ball away, and this defense has only one player with over two and a half sacks. Now, he did not hit double-digit sacks in a season since 2021. His injury history is definitely worse than others, but this is a pass rusher who is better at little things right now. Pressures, forced fumbles, stuff you need. Now, there is still a bigger number than anything on this roster, and it's forced fumbles, and that changes the game. The Dallas Cowboys, they have one player with over two and a half sacks, and a lot of people just not forcing fumbles either. Another catch, back in July, Adam Schefter said it is, quote, more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down. And his brother Nick asked if news could be coming. He said, no, probably not. So the best fit might be the one who is not coming back. And if Joey wants to play, Dallas is the team that needs him. The safer name and the guy that has been floating around the Cowboys for a long time is Bobby Wagner. He had 162 tackles last season with Washington, plus four and a half sacks and two interceptions. The tackle number was top 1% in the league. Wagner is also a name that keeps coming back. Fantasy nerds, CBS Sports, and Yahoo all wrote versions of the same piece. Dallas should add him. And Brian Schottenheimer, he said, you're looking at one of the biggest Bobby Wagner fans in the world back earlier this season on Up and Adams. There is a reason. Schottenheimer, of course, was Seattle's offensive coordinator in three of Wagner's seasons there. In the linebacker room, well, it's okay. It's Demarion Overshown, Shamar James and Justin Barron as Dee Winters got added this season. And you have Jay Shawn Barham in there. He has not played a lot of snaps recently, though. But with Bobby Wagner, he's 35. And the linebacker doesn't fix the pass rush as the Cowboys, they're asking for pressure. Still, one projection in August had him signing with Dallas. He's unsigned then, and he's still unsigned now. Then the last guy who is a kind of throw-in here lately, Leonard Floyd. Now, there's not a lot of ties for him in Dallas, but he fits the bill for what the Cowboys want. No stats, no quotes, no source saying Dallas has called him yet, but a free agent class with nobody is worth the name. Now, the only name an insider has actually floated on this list is going to be Josh Sweat, who was a trade candidate. Of course, that was before the deadline. The deadline came, and, well, he wasn't traded. Now, if I'm the Cowboys, I'm going to call all three of these guys this week. Calling costs nothing, and the answer tells you which door is actually open. Now, the order I would probably go in is Bosa is the best fit for pressure and probably the first guy I'm calling if he wants to continue playing. Wagner's the safe floor and has been linked to the Cowboys for months, and Floyd is a name that, well, can be something if you have to have a last second thing, but ultimately, I think you've got to call the other two first. Bosa, he'll cost a bet on his health and a desire to play. Wagner costs a bet on his age. Floyd is going to cost nothing in terms of bets. So I think there's a lot of things that could be pros and cons for each of these guys. And here's the part that should bother Cowboys fans. Jerry said on October 21st, he could see being active at the trade deadline if it was for something that, well, in a lot of ways, helps the team now because the deadline well came and went. Jerry said, don't count it out. And in his own words from the deadline, you've got nine games that you've played. We've got eight more to go. Eight games, five wins, and their first one is the 49ers here at home on November 15th. Every week they wait, those five wins get harder. If the Cowboys are going to make a move the next few days are the last cheap window. So the Cowboys have eight games left. The defense that leaks points in three names stop there, that is the whole story. Let me know in the comments section, would you side Bosa, Wagner, or neither? Let me know, and of course, we'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
