Around the NFL, there are a few teams the Dallas Cowboys will have to be looking at in hopes of them trading some of their veteran talent to Dallas. The Cowboys are in a position to be buyers now, and with the apparent help needed on the defensive side of the football, it’ll be intriguing to see what Jerry Jones has in mind.
When considering potential trade options for the Cowboys to pursue, Mauricio Rodriguez of A to Z Sports proposed a trade idea involving the Cowboys trading for Devin Bush of the Cleveland Browns, a 27-year-old linebacker.
“Bush is in my opinion the most underrated Cowboys’ trade target there is. Even with DeMarvion Overshown targeting a Week 11 return, Dallas needs to upgrade its linebacker room. Bush would cost very little — a Day 3 late pick swap would do it per Browns expert Brandon Little — and he’s been a solid run stopper for the Browns. Plus, he hasn’t been a liability in coverage,” he wrote.
Cowboys Have the Assets to Make a Trade
While a trade seems obvious for the Dallas Cowboys, considering they’re in second place in the NFC East, Jones understands that a lot goes into his decisions.
He believes the Cowboys have some of the best draft capital they’ve had in a long time and doesn’t want to waste it unless the team is in a legitimate position to win a Super Bowl.
“Just because we played well, all of a sudden everybody thinks, boy, you’re in the hunt, so it’s time to go out and gather up all of this talent that’s waiting around out here on the trees to add to it now that we feel good that we can be more competitive,” Jones said in an appearance on “105.3 The Fan.” “That’s not realistic.
“What’s realistic is that if we do see an opportunity, we are in as good a shape as we’ve been in in years with (draft) picks, with financial, with our (salary) cap,” he added. “We’re in as good of shape as we’ve ever been if we see a way to improve our team with a player that makes sense today, this year, next year to entertain it and look at it.”
Browns Might Not Be Ready to Sell
Regarding what the Cleveland Browns plan to do, while it seemed like the team would certainly be sellers, and help the Dallas Cowboys and other contenders around the league out, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, it sounds like the ideal plan for the Browns might not be to sell.
While they could move on from some veterans like Bush, she mentioned the potential of buying in a buyer’s market.
“Ideally, the Browns would like to buy a couple of players; they’re in the buyers market right now and they would like to add a couple of players,” Cabot wrote. “I don’t think they are looking to sell very many players unless they have like a veteran on the decline or a veteran who’s been around for a long time who could go help another team and they could get something for him.”
If that is the case, it’s possible that Bush won’t be available. He’s had a year with 31 tackles and one sack.
