The Dallas Cowboys approach a pivotal stretch of the season as the NFL trade deadline nears, with General Manager Jerry Jones recently hinting that no major roster moves are in the works before November 5. But as football fans know, anything can change in the NFL. After a tough loss to the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys are left with much to assess during their bye week.
With offensive struggles mounting and a ground game in need of a spark, one intriguing option stands out—Carolina Panthers’ running back Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard, known to Cowboys fans from his college days at Oklahoma State, could be the fresh force Dallas needs. Currently averaging over five yards per carry, he’s proving his worth even on a struggling Panthers team.
Carolina, currently 1-6, is positioned as a likely trade partner as they shift focus to a rebuild. With their backfield depth recently boosted by a high draft investment in Texas running back Jonathan Brooks and a sizeable contract dedicated to Miles Sanders, the Panthers may be open to offers for Hubbard.
A trade for Hubbard, who is only 25 and entering a contract year, could be a smart move for the Cowboys as they look to inject new energy into their offense. For Dallas, it’s about finding the right offer to bring in a playmaker who could make a difference down the stretch.
Stay tuned as the trade deadline approaches; in the NFL, a well-timed move could be the game-changer Dallas needs to stay competitive in 2024.
