Jerry Jones teased a trade before the team’s Monday night loss to the Arizona Cardinals and many assumed the Logan Wilson trade that Dallas made on Tuesday morning was the answer (the Cowboys sent the Cincinnati Bengals a 2026 seventh-round pick).

Quinnen Williams is one of the most disruptive interior linemen in the NFL and was reportedly someone that Jerry Jones was seeking when the Cowboys were preparing to deal away Micah Parsons. It did not happen then, but it has happened now. Williams is under contract through the 2027 season so the short-term future of the defense just received a massive makeover. Initial reports were that Dallas was sending a first-round pick and more and at time of immediate news it was rumored to be the Cowboys’ first-round pick in 2026 and not Green Bay’s that Dallas received in the Micah Parsons trade. Jay Glazer noted that the 2026 pick was expected to be a second-rounder which insinuated that the first-round pick involved (again that will belong to Dallas and not Green Bay) would be in 2027. We will update this post with full trade details when they are out. Reported Trade Terms Ed Werder noted that our assumption was correct. Giving up multiple premium picks is obviously less than ideal, but the Cowboys hold two first-round picks in 2026 which will mitigate the loss of a second. And if the team is planning on making more preparations to help the 2026 team then surrendering their own first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft is totally fine. Mazi Smith is also going to the Jets Jordan Schultz reported this as the trade details continued to come out. What a day. Update On The 2027 Draft Pick It is actually whichever pick is better between Dallas and Green Bay that will head to the Jets in 2027. That makes sense from a Jets standpoint, but what a bummer from ours. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

They certainly improved the defense. Things have been a bit wonky for the Cowboys from an NFL draft perspective ever since trading away Micah Parsons as that gave them an additional first-round pick in 2026. The Cowboys still hold those multiple firsts, but the rest of their picks look a bit strange and we have put together an updated list to catch you up. Dallas Cowboys Draft Picks, 2026 NFL Draft 1st 1st (Green Bay’s) 4th 5th 7th (Kansas City’s) Tuesday saw the Cowboys deal away their second-round pick (for Quinnen Williams) and a seventh-rounder (for Wilson) which left them with two selections in the first round and three on the third day of the draft. Recall that Dallas sent their third-round pick to the Steelers back in the offseason to acquire George Pickens. With things stabilizing for the Cowboys this is now what we know they will have to work with in the spring. How do you feel about it all? See More: Dallas Cowboys Draft

It was a big day to say the least. While the Cowboys traded away Micah Parsons a week before the season began, and not in the lead up to the deadline, that was obviously a big deal that re-shaped the makeup of the team. Here is the totality of what has been traded away and acquired by the Cowboys since the Parsons deal. Cowboys Received DT Quinnen Williams (from Jets) DT Kenny Clark (from Packers) LB Logan Wilson (from Bengals) 2026 1st (from Packers) Cowboys Gave Up LB Micah Parsons (to Packers) DT Mazi Smith (to Jets) 2026 2nd (to Jets) 2026 7th (to Bengals) 2027 1st, the better of their two (to Jets) The Cowboys also netted salary cap relief from moving Parsons, and in doing so served as the catalyst for getting deals done with notable players like Tyler Smith, DaRon Bland, and Jake Ferguson.

Smith Show, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones stated that the Cowboys had made a trade. For hours, before kickoff last night, fans were trying to connect the dots on who the Cowboys had set their sights on. Jones remained steadfast that he wouldn’t reveal who the player was and that it would be announced this morning. Well, Jones wasn’t pulling our chains, and a trade did happen. The Cowboys have traded with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. Jones also said yesterday that the player the team was trading for would get on the field immediately. Considering how bad the defense has been, help can’t get out there soon enough. Yet, what should the Cowboys expect from Logan Wilson after the midseason trade? Here’s what you should know about Dallas’ new linebacker Wilson is a former third-round pick of the Bengals in 2020. When he was drafted, Wilson was viewed as a prospect; his timed speed (4.63 forty-yard dash) wasn’t indicative of his actual athleticism. Dating back to his time as a high school player, Wilson always showed terrific athleticism for his size. In high school, he was named All-State as a receiver, defensive back, as well as punter, and placekicker. As a collegiate prospect, Wilson entered the NFL draft measured at 6’2”, 241 lbs., and tested very well at the combine. It took Wilson some time to earn a regular role with the Bengals, but in his second season, Wilson was named a starter on the team’s defense under coordinator Lou Anarumo. Since becoming a starter, Wilson was highly productive for the Bengals, totaling 100 tackles or more in four consecutive seasons, and intercepting nine passes in that span. Wilson is a player who diagnoses the run well and is able to take on blocks before shedding offensive linemen to make the tackle. For Dallas, it’s a breath of fresh air for a defense that allows almost 31 points per game and nearly five yards per rushing attempt. The Cowboys have allowed teams to go over 100 yards rushing in every game this season except two. Wilson’s arrival will also have an impact on Kenneth Murray and Shemar James. Kenneth Murray has had some moments in the last two games, but he hasn’t been what the Cowboys expected when they acquired him from the Tennessee Titans. James is a fifth-round rookie who has played a lot of snaps but still needs time in the learning process. There have been too many lapses in the running game, especially at run fits, and the hope is that Wilson immediately helps in that department. Wilson also should be expected to provide leadership for James and Marist Liufau. As for other reasons why the trade makes sense for Dallas and why Wilson was available in the first place: Wilson hasn’t been his best this season and has seen his snaps decrease for Cincinnati. There’s some context here. Wilson, who thrived under Anarumo, hasn’t had the same rapport with the Bengals’ new defensive coordinator, Al Golden. Dallas saw a productive player in an unhappy situation and swooped in for very little in exchange. As we know, Jerry Jones loves a bargain and found it with Wilson, who has two years left on his contract. In short, if Wilson pans out, it’s a great pickup for very little financial investment, and if not, it costs next to nothing and only a day-three draft pick at giving the team a chance to salvage a porous defensive unit. The Cowboys expect to get DeMarvion Overshown back in the lineup around Thanksgiving. Pairing Wilson and Overshown in the nickel package would greatly improve their coverage at the second level, an area that has given the Cowboys problems, especially when playing zone coverage. The other thing is Wilson is durable and willing to play through injuries and available to play all three positions at linebacker. The trade isn’t quite the caliber that Jones slyly teased yesterday, but it does several things: It fills a need, provides future flexibility, costs little draft capital, and provides leadership from a former team captain to a defense that has been careening into a bottomless pit.

Well, it finally happened: the Cowboys got a streak going. It’s just the wrong kind of streak. For the first time this season, the Cowboys lost consecutive games, falling 27-17 to the Cardinals.

It’s just the wrong kind of streak. For the first time this season, the Cowboys lost consecutive games, falling 27-17 to the Cardinals. It also marked their first home loss of the year. And the final score doesn’t reflect how truly embarrassing this was for America’s Team. Dallas started with the ball, and their offense looked to have their mojo back after being stifled last week in Denver. Javonte Williams was running hard and Dak Prescott was hitting chunk plays to both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and before long they were looking at first and goal. Then Williams got stuffed for a loss. A quick pass to Jake Ferguson made it third and goal before a Ferguson drop brought up fourth down. In a correction from last week, when Brian Schottenheimer settled for a field goal on the opening drive, the Cowboys went for it. It didn’t work, largely because both Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele were reduced to human turnstiles as Prescott was sacked. The Cardinals, who have struggled offensively all year and especially in the run game, suddenly looked like they had all the answers. Jacoby Brissett was finding wide open receivers and the Cardinals running backs had plenty of open room to run. Somehow, Dallas held them to a field goal, but the Cardinals ate up nearly seven minutes on the drive. They were quicker the next time out. After a Cowboys three-and-out, the Cardinals engineered a drive that lasted nearly five minutes and ended with Marvin Harrison Jr. running a route so crisp that DaRon Bland fell to the ground, leaving Harrison wide open for a touchdown. That seemed to jolt the Cowboys offense awake again, because Prescott and Williams started moving the ball down the field. A hold on Ferguson backed things up, though, and two plays later Ferguson fumbled in field goal range to hand the ball back to Arizona. It felt like a moment where the game effectively ended, sucking the life out of the stadium. To quote Michael Corleone, though, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” Not long after the turnover, the defense forced a punt and Sam Williams, of all people, broke through to block the punt with his face. That sent the ball ricocheting back into the endzone, and Marshawn Kneeland fell on it for a touchdown. Just like that, the Cowboys had life again. However, to quote the manager from South Park, “Aaaaaand it’s gone.” It took the Cardinals 11 plays and just over three minutes to get back into the endzone, with Brissett sneaking in for the score and putting the Cardinals up 17-7. The Cowboys got in range for a 68-yard field goal, giving Brandon Aubrey a chance to tie Jaguars kicker Cam Little’s brand new record, but Aubrey missed wide as the first half expired. It was that kind of game: even the most automatic member of this team was missing. Things got even worse to start the third quarter, as the Cardinals scored a touchdown on just three plays to go up 24-7. The two teams traded a field goal after that, and Dallas briefly “made it interesting” with a touchdown at the top of the fourth quarter, but this game was effectively over on that first drive of the second half. Simply put, this team played with no heart. The defense just gave up first down after first down, whether by penalty or blown coverage or missed tackle. The pass blocking, especially on the perimeter, was abysmal; Steele was benched for Nate Thomas in the fourth quarter, and things got a little better. Pickens and Williams both fumbled too, with Williams’ fumble being recovered by Arizona. The Cowboys now fall to 3-5-1 and enter their bye week. Earlier in the day, Jerry Jones promised a trade to come on Tuesday, and possibly two more. But why bother? No one player is fixing what ails this team, and three new players aren’t likely to do the job either. Two straight weeks this team has laid an egg, and they’ve got serious work to do if they have any plans on contending for a playoff spot. Oh, and the road gets significantly harder from here. They come out of the bye against a bad Raiders team, but after that they face the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, and Chargers. The worst of those by record is the Vikings, but they just upset the Lions. Schottenheimer and his staff have some soul searching to do during the bye week. They certainly haven’t figured anything out on the fly, and if anything, the team has regressed as the season has gone along. Right now, the Cowboys’ 2025 season is on life support, and there are very few supporting arguments against pulling the plug. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

Drummond, The Cowboys Wire The Cowboys may have almost singlehandedly forced a QB change for the Cardinals, as Jacoby Brissett looked great in his first win of 2025. While the defense was once again a total bust, for the second straight game the vaunted Dak Prescott-led offense was missing in action. The Cowboys were shut out in the first half, and it once again started with a stalled opening drive. This time, instead of settling for a field goal like they did against Denver in Week 8, Dallas was stopped on a fourth-down attempt.Need a news break? Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more! They’d punt on their net drive and fumble on their third, quickly going down 10-0. The team was able to block a punt and recover for a score, but the defense allowed the Cardinals to march down the field in response and erase the score with a touchdown of their own. Dallas’ late comeback effort was thwarted when, down 17, they chose to go for it from the Arizona 21 instead of kicking a field goal to cut the deficit to two scores. What made things even more disappointing is the defense allowed journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett carve them up, as Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride got whatever they wanted, repeatedly moving the chains on third down. CB DaRon Bland was targeted over and over and over again by the Arizona attack. The Cowboys enter their bye week without much hope based on their performance, even if they aren’t technically out of the playoff race. Now the attention will turn to what kind of draft picks they’re going to give up on Tuesday. The Cowboys’ on-field product is certainly far from noteworthy, and Jerry may compound the error. “The details are tomorrow,” Jones said. “There’s a good chance that we’ll have some things to talk about tomorrow.” Defense certainly has been Dallas’ shortcoming through the first eight games of the season, allowing 31.3 points per game (31st in NFL entering Week 9). Pass rusher, of course, is an area of need following the decision to trade Micah Parsons to the Packers at the end of August. Veteran James Houston currently leads the team with 3.5 sacks, and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, who was part of the Parsons blockbuster, is the only other defender with more than one sack this year. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday that Dallas indeed is in the market for a pass rusher. One of the players possibly on the Cowboys’ radar (Jaelan Phillips) was dealt to the rival Philadelphia Eagles on Monday morning. The Titans’ Arden Key, the Dolphins’ Bradley Chubb and the Raiders’ Malcolm Koonce were other names to monitor, per Rapoport. We have until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to find out what exactly Jones has up his sleeve. If Cowboys make a trade after loss to Cardinals, it’s just Jerry Jones trying to fool you—and he just told you why – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports After suffering their first back-to-back losses of the year, is there any possible trade that could turn around this Cowboys season? “The Dallas Cowboys probably have the kind of interest that we have in no small part because we stay out front and we stay controversial,” Jones said on the show. “When it gets slow, I stir that (expletive) up. Fact. I just want to be relevant. I just want you to be looking at us.” And by the way, it’s not the first time he makes such a statement, either. You heard him on Netflix. “It’s a soap opera 365 days a year,” he said. He’s admitted it on several interviews before. With playoff hopes quickly heading for 0% for a Cowboys defense that can’t get off the field and an offense that keeps getting flags and messing up protection, it’s time to make fans buy in. Not the knowledgeable, die-hard ones with deep understanding of the salary cap. Nor the ones who know the backups and practice squad players. Nah, the ones who get asked where did Dak Prescott go to college and they don’t know. Nothing against them, by the way. Heck, sometimes I envy them. For them, hope springs eternal in sports. But those are the fans Jerry wants to get excited through a trade. It’s the most of them, too. But here’s the thing I learned when I failed Calculus II in college. Despite going to academic counseling twice a week to try to save the semester, it was already too late. I never learned Calculus I and barely got by. Then I spent most of the semester failing midterms and quizzes en route to finals. I was in deep trouble already. No amount of academic counseling would save me. The Cowboys refused build a good team in the offseason, from the early re-signing period to free agency. They prioritized finding discounts instead of impact. They dealt away Micah Parsons because they let feelings get in the way. No midseason trade will save them at this point. Cowboys vs. Cardinals recap: Dallas humiliated on Monday night 27-10 as season slips away – RJ Ochoa, Blogging The Boys The Arizona Cardinals, a team that came into Monday night on a five-game losing streak, was really the better team from start to finish at the Cowboys.

Second Quarter It took a few moments for matters to turn ugly. Marvin Harrison Jr. took care of DaRon Bland with relative ease and the Cardinals established a 10-point lead. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, CARDINALS 10 (Jacoby Brissett to Marvin Harrison Jr. 4-yard touchdown) The next drive felt critical for the Cowboys given everything to date, […] The Dallas Cowboys entered Monday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with their season still intact. It was barely held together, but technically speaking there were four walls and a roof. Jerry Jones and Co. may have borrowed building advice from the little piggy who built their house out of straw because it took basically a single puff from the Cardinals for the game, and subsequently the season, to come tumbling down. The Cowboys lost in embarrassing fashion. 27-17, and fell to 3-5-1 on the season. This marks the lowest point, the furthest under .500 that Dallas has been, on the season and on the eve of the NFL’s trade deadline it underscores just how over this whole thing feels. Again, the whole thing was running on fumes before Monday, but it is going to limp to the end in all likelihood across the holiday season. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that the Cowboys were never even close against the Cardinals. Like last week against the Broncos they were denied a touchdown on their first possession (this was a failed fourth down attempt as opposed to a settling for a field goal) and that really did spell doom. Below you will find our recap of all of the “action” as it unfolded. The Drought™ appears destined to officially turn 30 years old. First Quarter The Cardinals won the toss and chose to defer which put the Cowboys offense up first. Matters seemed to be relatively easy for the Cowboys. Javonte Williams was picking up big gain after big gain and soon enough both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb were involved, too. Dallas reached a goal to go situation and on first down Williams was taken down by Cardinals rookie Walter Nolen who made his NFL debut in the game. That put the Cowboys being the eight ball and after Jake Ferguson got them close on second down they came up shy on both third and fourth (obviously they went for it) to turn the ball over on downs. The Cardinals went to work at their own 11-yard line and made legitimate work out of the possession. All told their drive lasted 15 plays, traveled 55 yards, and mercifully came to an end with a field goal after failing on third down (they converted four before it, including penalties). There was a missed penalty on Arizona when Dante Fowler had his facemask pulled, but you know how that goes. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, CARDINALS 3 (Chad Ryland 48-yard field goal) It was 3rd and 7 quickly for the Cowboys and Dak Prescott found CeeDee Lamb for the conversion, unfortunately Tyler Booker held on the play and Dallas was backed up 10 yards. Prescott had his arm hit as he launched on 3rd and 17 and the ball floated in the air forever. Thankfully Mack Wilson dropped an interception that was dropping like a punt, but ultimately the Cowboys did actually punt after going three and out. Far from ideal. Donovan Ezeiruaku had an impressive sack on second down, but unfortunately Arizona had one more before having to make a decision. They converted the 3rd and 14 right as the first quarter ended. Second Quarter It took a few moments for matters to turn ugly. Marvin Harrison Jr. took care of DaRon Bland with relative ease and the Cardinals established a 10-point lead. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, CARDINALS 10 (Jacoby Brissett to Marvin Harrison Jr. 4-yard touchdown) The next drive felt critical for the Cowboys given everything to date, and the offense seemed to play as if that was the case. Dak Prescott was doing all he could and even had a big game on the ground. A few plays later he had a nice conversion to George Pickens that was unfortunately called back thanks to a holding penalty against Jake Ferguson. Unfortunately that wouldn’t be Ferguson’s lowest point of the drive. On 3rd and 17 the Cowboys were clearly playing for points of any kind by way of a Brandon Aubrey field goal and Prescott dumped it off to Ferg. As Jake was scrambling for more yardage he had the ball popped loose and the Cardinals recovered. It felt like things were about to really slip away for Dallas. The Cardinals began driving and 17-0 seemed inevitable. Somehow, the defense held and forced a punt. As if that were not shocking enough… the Cowboys blocked it! And recovered it in the endzone! SCORE: COWBOYS 7, CARDINALS 10 (Marshawn Kneeland recovery) The Cardinals began moving once more and all of a sudden the two-minute warning hit. Arizona kept taking things that were in front of them (which were a lot because, well, you know) and the Cowboys clearly wanted to give themselves a chance to possess the ball before halftime given that the second half would begin with them on defense again. Dallas burned all of their timeouts and it didn’t help stop the inevitable. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, COMMANDERS 17 (Jacoby Brissett 1-yard touchdown run) To make matters all the more embarrassing the ESPN cameras picked up sound of what was clearly a Cardinals player shouting that it was just “so easy” with an expletive in the middle there. The situation was dire to say the least. KaVontae Turpin had a decent enough return to give the Cowboys a faint chance with 41 seconds before intermission. The Cowboys couldn’t get much done though, although they did give Brandon Aubrey a chance to tie Cam Little’s 68-yard field goal that made NFL history on Sunday. He missed. That kind of game. Notably through that offensive sequence Dak Prescott appeared to be bothered and appeared that way when

Despite the week of rest, Arizona is still pretty banged up, as are the Cowboys. The inactives report confirmed who will and won’t be suiting up tonight. The Cowboys had a whopping 14 players on their injury report this week, and several are now inactive. Safeties Donovan Wilson and Alijah Clark, as well as offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius, are in that category. However, Juanyeh Thomas returns to the field after missing time with a migraine. Also on the inactive list are Jaydon Blue, Jonathan Mingo, Hakeem Adeniji, and Mazi Smith. Blue had a fumble in last week’s game, and Malik Davis was signed from the practice squad earlier in the week. Smith is back to being a healthy scratch, and has seen his name pop up as a possible trade chip ahead of tomorrow’s trade deadline. As for the Cardinals, their biggest inactive is Kyler Murray. The quarterback is set to miss his third straight game, with Jacoby Brissett getting the start in his place. Brissett was announced as the starter early in the week, but head coach Jonathan Gannon had held out hope that Murray would be healthy enough to play in a limited capacity. Clearly, that turned out to not be the case. See More: Dallas Cowboys Injuries
