The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to return from their bye week on Sunday, October 27, facing a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. As they prepare for this critical game, another important date looms: the 2024 NFL Trade Deadline on Tuesday, November 5.
Currently, with a 3-3 record, the Cowboys find themselves just one game back in the NFC East. A strong showing in Week 7 could set the team up well for the remainder of the season. However, if they slip to 3-4, it’s likely that fans will be looking for Jerry Jones to make moves to address long-standing issues, particularly at running back and wide receiver.
Unfortunately, expectations are low among Cowboys supporters regarding any potential trades. According to Dianna Russini from The Athletic, Jones has stated that “Dallas won’t be making roster moves before the NFL trade deadline in November.”
Should this come as a surprise? The Cowboys have consistently ignored pressing needs on the roster. Despite Jones claiming the team is “all-in” for the 2024 season, there’s little evidence to support this. It appears his primary focus may be on preserving the status quo, possibly using Mike McCarthy as a scapegoat for any shortcomings this season.
As the deadline approaches, it remains to be seen how the Cowboys will navigate the second half of the season and whether any changes will ultimately be made.
