Josh Sweat could be traded as Cardinals approach NFL deadline

Summary

Arizona Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat is a potential trade candidate ahead of the NFL deadline. With the team holding a 3-5 record and little playoff hope, Sweat has drawn interest from multiple teams, particularly the Dallas Cowboys. A previous trade sending quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens suggests the Cardinals are open to roster changes. While Sweat enjoyed a strong season last year with 12 sacks, his current totals are down. The team faces a decision on balancing experienced defenders versus acquiring draft picks as the November 10 trade deadline approaches.
