The Dallas Cowboys‘ outing against the Denver Broncos on Sunday certainly did not go as well as the team would have hoped, as they returned to Texas having had the Bo Nix-led offense put 44 points on the Cowboys’ 31st ranked total defense.
Ironically, despite having had Sean Payton’s men hand almost a half-century on them, the Cowboys’ offense went from 32nd to 31st after week 8, after the Cincinnati Bengals‘ shootout against the New York Jets, which ended with New York getting their first victory of the season, in the Midwest.
Post-game, owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, was asked by a member of the media if the Cowboys’ loss on Sunday impacted the way the franchise could approach the trade deadline.
Jerry Jones Will Not Change Trade Deadline Strategy After Loss
However, the 83-year old was bullish that the organization’s strategy over the next week would not be impacted by the result in week 8.
“A loss is discouraging,” Jones said after the game, “but as far as my temperament – if I saw a proposition for us to help this team, no matter what this score was today, then I would look at it on the merits of helping this team.
And if you’re talking about trading for a player or trading a player, I’d completely look at it on the merits on the team, both for next week or the weeks after or for the longer term. So I’d have to answer your question “no”, today would not affect a decision on trading for a player.”
Jones was adamant that the team would remain in the lookout a deal based on the “merits of helping this team”, rather than the situation they find themselves in after eight games.
Lying at 3-4-1, the Cowboys lie 1.5 games behind the San Francisco 49ers, who would currently occupy the 7th playoff spot if the postseason started today – so they are far from out of the loop by any means.
