"The NFL appears to be more aggressive than ever in trading players; we typically don't see any serious conversations until the deadline, but this time around, we are seeing Cowboys trade targets emerge in mid-October. These rumors come at an interesting time for Dallas, as they struggle on the field and stake claims of improvement and acquisition-based aggression off it. It seems the Micah Parsons trade, and subsequent increase in draft capital, have gone to their heads."
"If you were to list out the Dallas Cowboys' top three needs, they'd read as follows: linebacker, linebacker, and linebacker. The law firm of Murray & Sanborn has been disastrous for Dallas when they are on the field at the same time, and in the latter's recent absence, Murray has played even worse. Slotting rookie Shemar James in has helped, but not enough."
"Enter Devin Bush, who won't be the only linebacker on this list. The former first-round pick was a Cowboys draft target in 2019, and he's gotten back to that form in Cleveland this year. At 27 years old, he's developed into a great run defender, and he's managed to stay healthy. The Browns should be selling, and the Cowboys should be calling for him."
The Cowboys are engaging in unusually early trade conversations as they search for roster improvements. The team continues to struggle on the field while signaling aggressive acquisition intentions off it. The Micah Parsons trade increased draft capital and appears to have emboldened the front office to pursue deals outside typical deadline timelines. Linebacker stands out as the top positional need, prompting interest in veterans who can shore up run defense. Devin Bush is a primary candidate due to improved play, health, and prior draft interest. Additional targets include offensive contributors as other teams consider selling.
