The Micah Parsons trade resulted in Kenny Clark joining the Cowboys. The blockbuster deal also yielded a pair of first-round picks heading to Dallas, and owner Jerry Jones noted those selections could be used as part of a 2025 acquisition.
For now, the Cowboys are on course to have an extra Day 1 selection this year and next. Of course, that could change if the team used some of that capital for immediate help (particularly on the defensive side of the ball). Jones acknowledged on Friday an in-season deal is something Dallas is open to.
“Absolutely, I’m open for business period relative now that we have those extra picks,” said Jones (via The Athletic’s Jon Machota). “We should be.”
After just two weeks, it’s hard to say where Dallas needs the most help. Their defense allowed the third-most passing yards in the NFL through two weeks, but they seem to like their secondary talent and believe the unit will improve this year. As such, a cornerback addition feels unlikely. A more useful coverage upgrade might be at off-ball linebacker or safety; Cowboys at those positions have graded poorly to start the year, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required).
The Cowboys offense doesn’t seem to need any help. It’s a top-5 unit after two games, including a surprisingly-effective running game, and the amount of money Jones is already spending on that side of the ball may dissuade him from any other moves.

Tyriek hill maybe?
Tyreek Hill belongs in jail
Go Get Em Jerry!!!!!
Deion Sanders might be available soon…
They could use a dominant edge rusher
I think the Packers have one.
Im open to fleecing Jerry.
They should trade for Micah Parsons. He’d really help their pass rush.
You say that jokingly, but wouldn’t be just a bit funny if Jones traded Parsons, let Green Bay negotiate the contract with his agent, and then traded for him back?
When you give up 37 points to the Giants, you better be open to making moves.
Brown for a #2 in 2027
I know most want an edge rusher but I think I would prefer a RT
