Jerry Jones Likely Itching to Make Another Trade After Cowboys’ Win Over Eagles

Sports Illustrated • • sports

Key Points:

  • The Dallas Cowboys narrowly avoided another prime-time collapse by defeating the Tanner McKee-led Eagles 38-21, despite an inconsistent performance against a depleted Philadelphia team missing key players like DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley.
  • The Cowboys currently hold a 3-4 record and sit second in the NFC East behind the 4-2-1 New York Giants, with owner Jerry Jones showing enthusiasm for making additional trades before the November 10 deadline to strengthen the roster.
  • Despite significant defensive investments following the Micah Parsons trade, including acquisitions like Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark, the Cowboys' defense has yet to show consistent improvement, prompting hopes that new coordinator Christian Parker can turn things around.
  • Running back Javonte Williams had a career-high 155 rushing yards in the second half against Philadelphia, contributing to a strong finish that may signal progress under coach Brian Schottenheimer.
  • With a favorable upcoming schedule and the division’s weakest teams struggling, the Cowboys appear poised to be active buyers at the trade deadline, potentially revisiting a pursuit of edge rusher Maxx Crosby to bolster their defense.
