The NFL trade deadline is approaching in less than two weeks, and while it seems like the Cowboys’ numerous roster issues for 2024 would make a trade inevitable, we also know that Jerry Jones is in charge. This means inaction is often the most likely scenario, and there may not be an alternative option.
However, if the team remains focused on winning in 2024, one clear area to address at the deadline is the struggling defensive line. The Cowboys have struggled with quarterback pressure, averaging just 2.3 sacks per game, ranking 17th in the league. Their run defense hasn’t fared much better, allowing 859 yards this season, placing them 27th in the NFL.
