A few hours before having to be down to their initial 53-man roster the Dallas Cowboys made a trade.
Offensive lineman Asim Richards is heading to the New Orleans Saints.
The Cowboys drafted Richards out of North Carolina in the fifth round back during the 2023 NFL Draft. Interestingly this was the team’s first year operating without Kellen Moore in quite some time and Moore is the head coach of the Saints who are acquiring Richards in the deal.
As the Cowboys have begun to rebuild their offensive line over the last couple of years things have just reached a point where there wasn’t necessarily room for Richards. It is a good move on the Cowboys to acquire some sort of capital for him as opposed to putting him on waivers outright.
At the moment it is unknown exactly what Dallas is acquiring in the trade from New Orleans, but we will update this post when that information is available.
Update: 1:50pm ET
Compensation is in.
Make sure you keep this in consideration for your 2028 mock drafts.
