Overview
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Dallas is exploring deals for Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Malcolm Koonce and Titans pass rusher Arden Key.
- The Cowboys are open to dealing defensive tackle Mazi Smith, a 2023 first‑round pick who has appeared in five games and has been inactive multiple times this season.
- The Chiefs and Bills are assessing defensive‑line help and could view Smith as a low‑cost depth option, according to Rapoport.
- Contract status may shape the price: Chubb is signed through 2027, while Phillips, Koonce and Key are set to reach free agency in 2026.
- Dallas’ push reflects a defense near the bottom of the league and averaging fewer than two sacks per game, with no trades finalized ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.
