Will Cowboys be buyers or sellers at the November 10 NFL trade deadline?

With the NFC East wide open and the November 10 NFL trade deadline looming, the Dallas Cowboys face a critical crossroads. Jerry Jones has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to trade future draft capital for immediate upgrades, already moving picks to acquire Rashan Gary, Dee Winters, Broderick Jones, and Joey Porter Jr.

This aggressive approach has left the Cowboys with just four selections in the 2026 draft—one each in the first, second, fourth, and seventh rounds. Despite this depletion, Jones remains open to further deals, with Maxx Crosby and Josh Sweat emerging as potential targets.

Acquiring either would likely require sacrificing more draft assets, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of this strategy, especially given the team’s defensive struggles and inconsistent offensive performance this season.

Alternatively, the Cowboys could pivot to selling mode, leveraging their roster assets to bolster their draft capital for future rebuilding. George Pickens stands out as a prime trade candidate, though his value may be slightly limited by franchise-tag restrictions.

T.J. Bass could also attract significant interest, offering teams a high-upside defensive back.

The team’s next four games—against the Packers, Eagles, Cardinals, and Colts—will be pivotal in determining whether Jones prioritizes short-term gains or positions the Cowboys for a stronger long-term foundation.
