The Dallas Cowboys always have the belief that they can compete at the beginning of the year. Obviously, that has not turned out to be much. Recent NFL rumors have been swirling, indicating that the Cowboys may be a team to watch for a trade prior to the NFL season. Here are three realistic trade targets for Dallas to consider.
Maxx Crosby is the biggest name that still has any realistic chance of being dealt prior to week one. Dallas has had many offers on the table, including some major ones featuring big-time draft capital. Jerry Jones would need to put up a similar offer to entice the Las Vegas Raiders to trade him this late in the offseason.
Shedeur Sanders has recently been connected to the Cowboys in trade rumors around the NFL. This would come in the event that he loses the battle to Deshaun Watson to be the starter for the Cleveland Browns. Does it make any sense in actual football terms? Not really. Would it be interesting to see anyway? Absolutely.
Alex Highsmith is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. He had carried the Pittsburgh Steelers defense at various times in recent years, and is on a very good contract for his impact. He is making about $17 million annually. He is still just 28-years-old and has a lot left to give. It would be really fun seeing what he can do in Dallas under the Defensive Coordinator Christian Parker.
The Cowboys are once again in a position where they need to make a move to have a chance to compete. The roster isn’t enough, as currently constructed, to compete with the NFL’s best. Two of these NFL trade rumors would really help form that defense into one of the league’s best. The Sanders speculation is more or less just that. Speculation.
