Jerry Jones Seeks Defensive Improvements for Cowboys Before Trade Deadline


The Dallas Cowboys are actively looking to improve their defensive roster. Jerry Jones was upset after the Cowboys lost to the Buccaneers, and is looking to address the Cowboys' weak defensive front and suspect pass rush.

The Cowboys have allowed 5.1 yards per carry, which is bottom three in the NFL. The Cowboys have allowed quarterbacks to complete 72% of their passes, 30th in the NFL. The Cowboys have only five sacks through five weeks.

Jerry Jones is considering hiring Wink Martindale as the defensive coordinator. The Cowboys are well positioned to do business with the Cardinals, who are trading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and probably quarterback Jacoby Brissett too. Arizona edge rusher Josh Sweat has wanted out of Arizona since Jonathan Gannon was fired as head coach at the end of last season. The Cowboys are considering trading for Josh Sweat. The Cowboys are considering trading for Raiders All Pro Maxx Crosby.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
