"If I saw a proposition for us to help this team, no matter what this score was today, then I would look at it on the merits of helping this team. And if you're talking about trading for a player or trading a player, I would completely look at it on the merits of the team, both for next week or the weeks after or for the longer term. Today would not affect a decision on trading for a player."
"Let's be real, trading for one player is not going to help this Cowboys defense, it starts at the top with the way that Matt Eberflus tries to run it without the personnel to do so, and then the roster is also an issue. It is truly amazing how many times players are running wide open on this defense, and trying to rush 4 and hoping James Houston and Donovan Ezeiruaku can create pressure is just not going to work."
The Cowboys are 3-4-1 after eight games and ownership is unhappy with only three wins. Ownership will consider trades that demonstrably improve the team, evaluating moves on immediate and long-term merits regardless of the current score. The defense suffers from schematic mismatches and a lack of appropriate personnel, making a single-player trade unlikely to fix systemic problems. Reliance on rushing four and hoping edge rushers generate pressure has been ineffective. Numerous plays show defenders out of position and receivers running wide open. Micah Parsons' absence diminishes defensive capability, and the team still projects as below average even if he returns. A home win against the Cardinals is urgently needed before the bye.
