Locked On Cowboys Hit - Quick Takes on the Dallas Cowboys

COWBOYS TRADE WATCH: Jerry Jones Just OPENED THE DOOR — Who’s NEXT?

Episode Summary

The Dallas Cowboys could be ready to make a BIG move. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down the latest Cowboys trade rumors after Jerry Jones confirmed that Dallas is “in play” when it comes to potential trades. And Jerry didn't just leave it there. Jones indicated that if the Cowboys make a move, it would likely come on the defensive side of the football — a HUGE development considering Dallas has more than $30 million in available cap space after restructuring the contracts of Kenny Clark, DaRon Bland and Jake Ferguson. So what does this mean for the Cowboys? Dallas has already addressed the offensive side of the roster by acquiring former first-round offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys also have Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson leading an offense that Jerry Jones believes is in a good position. That makes the defense the obvious area to watch. James breaks down why Dallas should be monitoring the cornerback market, including whether a player like Christian Gonzalez could become a realistic target if the Cowboys decide to make a major move. But it doesn't necessarily have to be Gonzalez. The Cowboys could potentially target a cornerback, edge rusher, defensive tackle or linebacker depending on what the first few weeks of the season reveal. And that's what makes having more than $30 million in cap space so important. Dallas doesn't have to make a move immediately. The Cowboys can watch the roster. They can identify weaknesses. They can wait for injuries around the league. And if a major opportunity becomes available, Jerry Jones now has the financial flexibility to make a move. James also explains why the Cowboys could become MORE aggressive if they start the season strong. If Dallas is sitting at 3-1 or 4-1 and looks like a legitimate playoff contender, spending draft capital for an impact defensive player could suddenly make a lot more sense. The Cowboys have already shown they're willing to move draft capital to improve the current roster after trading for Broderick Jones. Now Jerry Jones has given Cowboys Nation another reason to watch the trade market. Plus, James breaks down the latest Cowboys prediction market on Kalshi, with Dallas currently trading at a 59% probability to beat the New York Giants in Week 1.
