The Dallas Cowboys have been lively thus far this offseason. Skeptics are allowed stay in “I’ll imagine it once I see it” mode, however in a literal and transactional sense, the Cowboys have been a lot busier nowadays than in latest ones.
There are a variety of free agent acquisitions that Dallas has made thus far, some even throughout the authorized tampering interval and earlier than the brand new league 12 months started. This, in and of itself, may be very in contrast to the Cowboys of latest seasons.
Among the many different strikes that Dallas has made thus far have been two trades. The Cowboys utilized compensatory picks to successfully transfer down slots with the Buffalo Payments and Tennessee Titans whereas buying Kaiir Elam and Kenneth Murray, respectively. Followers have clamored for extra veteran trades after those the staff executed for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks just a few years again, and whereas these aren’t essentially these, they characterize a entrance workplace that’s at the least attempting slightly bit more durable than we had been used to seeing.
With NFL homeowners conferences set to happen this week there are dignitaries from throughout the league who’re being quoted on the report. Stephen Jones was requested about persevering with so as to add to the roster and famous that extra trades are positively attainable.
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones is retaining the door open for including extra gamers earlier than the draft, together with through commerce:

By means of trades and signings, the Cowboys have added 10 gamers in free company. Stephen Jones mentioned the Cowboys shored up holes at DL, LB, RB. “We’re not achieved but. Nonetheless acquired some issues which are excellent on the market that we’re attempting to get achieved,” he mentioned.

Stephen mentioned outright that the Cowboys have some issues that they’re from a commerce standpoint. It will stand to cause then that the Cowboys have their eyes on a veteran or two and have talked worth with the groups in query and that perhaps sides haven’t fairly come to phrases on something but.
As issues stand the Cowboys have 10 picks to work with, the variety of alternatives they’d after compensatory picks had been initially introduced.
1st Spherical (twelfth total)
2nd Spherical (forty fourth total)
third Spherical (76th total)
fifth Spherical (149th total)
fifth Spherical (171st total) [compensatory pick]
fifth Spherical (174th total) [compensatory pick]
sixth Spherical (204 total) [from Kaiir Elam trade]
sixth Spherical (211th total) [compensatory pick]
seventh Spherical (239th total) [from Kenneth Murray trade]
seventh Spherical (247th total) [from Jonathan Mingo trade]
It feels extremely unlikely that the Cowboys will make the most of all 10 of their picks throughout the 2025 NFL Draft, though to be honest we mentioned that 4 years in the past after Dallas picked up a variety from transferring again within the first spherical they usually wound up doing so. Something can occur.
In the event you observe what the entrance workplace has to say within the media you understand that Stephen Jones is just not the sort to throw out the phrase commerce in a free vogue. This isn’t a “this positively going to occur” kind of evaluation, however the level taken needs to be that Stephen is clearly feeling assured {that a} commerce might wind up taking place.
What do you wish to see the Cowboys do?
