Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated the team remains active in trade discussions as the NFL season begins. The organization recently restructured the contracts of DaRon Bland, Kenny Clark, and Jake Ferguson to clear approximately $19 million in salary cap space. Jones acknowledged this financial maneuver provides the necessary flexibility to pursue roster additions if a trade opportunity emerges. While internal focus remains on current personnel, names circulating in trade rumors include Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders, Josh Sweat of the Arizona Cardinals, and Joey Porter Jr. of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The front office previously demonstrated an willingness to trade at the deadline, having acquired Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets last season. The team may proceed with current roster plans while evaluating potential targets through the November trade deadline.
