Even with Joey Porter Jr. in the fold, I’m not convinced the Dallas Cowboys are done poking around the trade market.
Despite a stockpile of draft picks that is down to nine over the next two years — three in 2027 and six in 2028 — I still think Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will tinker with another deal heading into the November trade deadline. Maybe it will aim at a pass-rush need, or address a hole created by injuries. Whatever the move, it will be calculated to give a talented roster every chance to win. Especially knowing this will likely be George Pickens’ last season in Dallas.
I joined Sports Night’s Josh Graham to chop up that possibility, along with how Porter Jr. gives the Cowboys defense some much-needed flexibility moving forward. Josh and I also touched on the Houston Texans’ struggles, the surprising aspect of J.J. McCarthy’s Minnesota Vikings exit, and the Raiders’ potential luxury dilemma: weighing Kirk Cousins’ strong start against the need to get Fernando Mendoza some snaps this season.
