🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Jones Hints at Cowboys’ Shocking Trade Deadline Move — “We Could Be Buyers… or Sellers.”
Dallas, TX — October 2025
The Dallas Cowboys are standing at a crossroads — one that could define the rest of their 2025 NFL season. With the trade deadline just hours away, Executive Vice President Stephen Jones has sent shockwaves through Cowboys Nation by admitting the team could just as easily trade away stars as acquire new ones.
It’s a bold stance from a franchise often known for loyalty — and an even bolder message to the locker room: no one is untouchable.
🏈 “We Could Go Either Way”
Speaking to KTFM Sports on Thursday, Jones broke his silence on Dallas’s trade strategy, and his comments were anything but routine.
“We’re always looking to improve — whether that’s bringing in someone or sending a player out,” Jones said. “Sometimes player-for-player trades can be very interesting. We’ve got depth in certain areas, and we’re exploring every option.”
That simple statement lit up the league rumor mill. Does Jones mean a major offensive piece could be on the move? Or is Dallas preparing to cash in draft picks to fix its struggling defense?
Either way, one thing is clear: the Cowboys are not sitting still.
⚡ An Offense on Fire, a Defense in Crisis
Statistically, the Cowboys have one of the most explosive offenses in football — leading the NFL in passing yards (263.8), ranking second in total offense (384.1 yards/game), and averaging 30.8 points per game.
But while Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb continue to light up the scoreboard, the defense is bleeding points — 31st in the league, allowing an average of 31.3 points per game.
That imbalance has left Dallas sitting at 3–4–1, trailing the Eagles in the NFC East and fighting for a wild card spot.
“If we can find a player who upgrades our defense, we’ll do it,” Jones said bluntly. “We owe it to the guys in that locker room — and to our fans — to get better now.”
💣 The Micah Parsons Factor
Ever since the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade, Cowboys fans have been restless. The move gutted the team’s defensive heart, and Dallas hasn’t been the same since. Many now see Jones’s comments as a hint that the front office might try to undo the damage — or at least fill the massive void left behind.
Rumors are swirling that the Cowboys could target a veteran pass rusher or shutdown corner, using offensive depth — possibly even a receiver or lineman — as trade bait.
🕐 One Game, One Deadline, One Defining Moment
The timing couldn’t be more dramatic. Dallas faces the Arizona Cardinals (2–5) on Monday Night Football, mere hours before the trade deadline hits.
Jones knows the stakes.
“It’s a big, big game,” he admitted. “Kyler Murray’s never lost at AT&T Stadium — but that has to change. This team still controls its destiny.”
A win could push the Cowboys back into the playoff picture — and convince Jones to double down and buy. A loss? It might be the trigger for a franchise shake-up no one saw coming.
🔥 “All In — One Way or Another”
Inside the locker room, players are keeping their heads down. Outside, fans are glued to their screens, waiting to see what move — if any — the front office will make.
This isn’t just about one game or one trade. It’s about the direction of the Dallas Cowboys — a franchise teetering between redemption and reset.
Whether Jones chooses to buy, sell, or shock the world, one thing’s for sure:
The next 72 hours will define the Cowboys’ season… and maybe their future.
