Jerry Jones Backs Parsons Trade as Cowboys Hunt Defensive Help Before Deadline

Dallas is evaluating deals for an impact defender before Nov. 4 after ruling out a pursuit of Maxx Crosby.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the Cowboys are seeking an impact defensive player and have called teams across the league to survey options in the front seven.
  • Jerry Jones says he has no regrets trading Micah Parsons, citing cap and roster depth considerations and pointing to the return from Green Bay that included defensive tackle Kenny Clark and draft picks.
  • Jones clarified the target would be on defense but not a pass rusher, as he dismissed speculation about trading for Raiders star Maxx Crosby.
  • Dallas has been linked in reports to Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and to media-proposed packages such as the DolphinsMinkah Fitzpatrick and Jaelan Phillips, though no agreements are in place.
  • The Cowboys are 3-3-1 with a defense that has struggled, injuries have thinned the secondary, and Parsons recently logged a career-best three-sack game with Green Bay, which Jones said he expected.
