Overview

• Jones cited the draft capital from the Micah Parsons trade in stating the team is absolutely willing to pursue in-season deals for defensive help.
• Jadeveon Clowney signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract on Sept. 14 and practiced this week, with his Week 3 availability described as uncertain by the head coach after Jones said he expects him to play.
• The Cowboys still have over $31 million in cap room following the Clowney addition, but reporting indicates a portion may be earmarked to roll into 2026.
• Dallas’ defensive issues persist through two games, including allowing 450 passing yards and three touchdowns to Russell Wilson and generating limited pass rush.
• Police records show Clowney was arrested on Sept. 12 in South Carolina on two misdemeanor charges before signing, and multiple outlets report the team proceeded with the deal as planned.
