Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones offered up a very interesting opinion on Tuesday about the team’s approach to the Oct. 31 NFL trade deadline.
Entering Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys are without a doubt one of the top teams in the NFC. They are in second place in their division — only behind the 6-1 Philadelphia Eagles — and have top-10 units in our current NFL offense rankings and defense rankings. However, they still have some clear issues.

After their surprise loss to the lowly Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, and then being smashed by the San Francisco 49ers two weeks later, the title contender aura the team had developed early in the season has been completely dispelled.
Jerry Jones admits willingness to make a big move to improve Dallas Cowboys before Oct. 31
The organization has always been known for making bold moves under the leadership of Jerry Jones, and when the trade deadline gets closer there is often speculation about what they could do. However, when push comes to shove, Jones often decides to be a bit more conservative at the deadline. But that may change in 2023.

“I would really extend to improve our team right now because I think we have a team that’s a contender,” Jones said.
The Cowboys have a ferocious defense that should give them a strong chance in any playoff matchup. However, with their offense not nearly as effective as it was in 2022, it’s possible they swing a deal to improve their running game for well-known veterans like Dalvin Cook or Derrick Henry before Oct. 31.
