Dallas Cowboys trade rumors: Report reveals players Jerry Jones has targeted for potential move

Jerry Jones has been outspoken all day on Monday that the Dallas Cowboys have a trade done, whether it be actually completed or still to be finalized by tomorrow on Tuesday. Now, reports are emerging as to who he could be referring to bringing to America’s Team.

Per sources speaking to Jordan Schultz, Dallas has had several discussions about defensive players on multiple other teams around the NFL. That includes with the Cincinnati Bengals in looking into DE Trey Hendrickson and LB Logan Wilson as well as with the Miami Dolphins about OLB Bradley Chubb. Regardless of who it is, though, the belief is that the Cowboys will have added someone to their defense by tomorrow, which’ll come after tonight’s game against the Arizona Cardinals on ‘Monday Night Football’.

“Sources: The #Cowboys have held trade discussions with multiple teams regarding defensive players — believed to be focused on pass rushers and linebackers — and the expectation is that at least one deal will be finalized by Tuesday, as owner Jerry Jones hinted today,” Schultz tweeted first.

“My understanding is the #Cowboys have spoken to the Bengals on DE Trey Hendrickson and LB Logan Wilson, and to the Dolphins on OLB Bradley Chubb. They’ve had talks with other teams as well,” Schultz then quoted on that first post. “‘At least one deal is getting done somewhere,’ a source said.”

On the radio earlier today, Jones revealed that Dallas had made a trade, and could make additional ones, going into the deadline on Tuesday. He didn’t say with which team and for who, though, in only saying that “immediately it will have him on the field” as a useful addition for the Cowboys’ defense. Jones has since reiterated that again going into kickoff tonight against the Cardinals in an appearance on ‘Monday Night Countdown’.

“Well, I hope you will appreciate that since the deadline is tomorrow, the details are tomorrow…The idea is are we busy thinking about it or am I sitting up here thinking about the oil and gas or am I trying to build a team? That’s trying to get our defense ready to go. I’ve taken a little kidding about some of my comments recently about our oil and gas business,” Jones said. “But, seriously, this is the time when we have a chance to help the Cowboys. Any time that I can do that, we burn the midnight oil and there’s a good chance we’ll have some things to talk about tomorrow.”

As for names, all of these would make sense for Dallas. That’s at least with Cincinnati and Miami being considered as teams who could see at the deadline, with the Bengals at 3-6 overall and the Dolphins even a game worse than that at 2-7 overall.

For Cincy, Hendrickson has 16 tackles, 8 hits on the quarterback, 4.0 sacks as a team-high, a deflection, and a forced fumble while Wilson has posted their fourth-most tackles with 46, four deflections, and their unit’s lone fumble recovery. Then, for Miami, Chubb has 25 tackles, 7 hits on the quarterback, 4.0 sacks for a team-high too, and a forced fumble with a recovery.

All of those could be welcome, productive additions for Dallas. That’s as the Cowboys’ defense is one of the league’s worst in, going into kickoff tonight, allowing 31.3 points and 404.6 yards per game – with them having a chance to buy and add something to fix some of those issues by the deadline tomorrow.
