The Cowboys are monitoring potential trade targets at receiver such as Amari Cooper, Kelvin Benjamin, and DeVante Parker, but they’re also looking at improvements on the defensive side of the ball. Dallas is interested in acquiring a safety via trade, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com (Twitter link), who notes that such an addition would likely be a move for depth.
Dallas has deployed Jeff Heath and Xavier Woods as their starting safeties over the past four games. Kavon Frazier, meanwhile, started the club’s first two games while Woods was injured, but has barely played since. The Cowboys also recently signed former Giants starter Darian Thompson off the Cardinals’ practice squad.
All three of the Heath, Woods, and Frazier rank as bottom-12 defensive backs league-wide, per Pro Football Focus, and ranks just 23rd in pass defense DVOA , so a trade for a starer can’t be ruled out. Dallas, of course, discussed acquiring All-Pro Earl Thomas from the Seahawks before he went down with a season-ending injury.
Speculatively, safeties that could be available for trade include T.J. McDonald (Dolphins), Briean Boddy-Calhoun (Browns), Tre Boston (Cardinals), Antoine Bethea (Cardinals), and Kurt Coleman (Saints).
