The Dallas Cowboys already have made at least one trade ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, according to Jerry Jones.
The Cowboys’ owner and general manager just won’t say who’s involved.
Jones raised some eyebrows with his comments Monday that insinuated that Dallas has made a deal, even though the Cowboys haven’t announced one, and there haven’t been reports of a recent transaction involving the team.
Arizona Cardinals, has been expected to be active in the trade market, specifically on defense. This season, the unit has allowed more than 40 points twice and has given up more than 400 yards four times.
Though Jones said last week that he doesn’t think one player can make the Cowboys’ defense competitive, he indicated to Smith that the trade involved a defensive player.
«Immediately, it will have them on the field, and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings,» Jones said.
Jones was later pressed about the yet-to-be-announced trade during an interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt ahead of «Monday Night Football,» and though Jones didn’t elaborate, he indicated Tuesday will be busy for his team.
«… But seriously, this is the time when we have a chance to help the Cowboys,» he said on ESPN. «Anytime that I can do that, we burn the midnight oil. There’s a good chance that we’ll have some things to talk about tomorrow.»
