Jerry Jones: Creating Cap Space Gives Us Room to Make a Trade
Jerry Jones said Dallas is open to using draft picks for a move, as the team added more than $19 million in cap room.
On Tuesday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed the team is "in play" to make a trade before the November 10 deadline, indicating significant financial flexibility to upgrade the roster this season.
The Cowboys created more than $19 million in salary cap space by restructuring contracts for defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland, and tight end Jake Ferguson last week.
Jones stated the team would "more than likely see depth on defense" if a trade occurs, with reports linking the organization to Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.
Despite holding only five picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, Jones remains open to trading future selections, prioritizing "getting the best team we can put on this field" for this season.
With Sunday's season opener against the New York Giants approaching, NFLPA figures reveal the Cowboys possess $33.6 million in total cap room, which can carry over to the 2027 salary cap if unused.
