Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones might actually be wise to admit defeat like Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman did with the Jordan Davis trade.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones signals a buying streak at the NFL trade deadline, targeting Pro Bowl edge rusher Josh Sweat from the struggling Arizona Cardinals. Sweat, 26, posted a 12‑sack season in 2025 but is seeking a new team after coach Jonathan Gannon’s exit. Cardinals reportedly ask for a second‑round pick, but insider Charles Robinson believes Dallas could land him for a third‑rounder. Sweat, under contract through 2028 with a $16.4 million cap hit this year, would bolster a Dallas line featuring Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary. The deal hinges on Dallas’ view of its 2027 Super Bowl window.

The Dallas Cowboys eked out a win on Sunday, but the triumph feels hollow as the team continues to stumble against inferior opponents. Falling four games behind the New York Giants and boasting a 1‑5 record versus teams at .500 or better, the Cowboys have repeatedly built leads only to watch them crumble—most recently against the Colts, with late fourth‑down heroics from Jake Ferguson and a CeeDee Lamb touchdown saving the day. With five of their final eight games against winning teams and a daunting December stretch, the article warns that the Cowboys’ current “ugly wins” mask deeper issues that could derail any NFC East hopes.

The New York Jets are poised to own three of the top 13 selections in the 2027 NFL Draft after a disastrous Week 9, as the team’s poor record (2‑7) lands them high picks from both the Colts and Cowboys. With the Jets holding the 2‑7 and 3‑5 slots and an additional early pick from the Cowboys, fans are already eyeing a potentially game‑changing draft despite the season’s struggles.
Pass rusher Will McDonald IV tells the New York Jets he wants a trade just before the November 10 deadline, citing frustration over limited snaps—only 24 plays in a 35‑12 loss to Kansas City and a drop to 46% of defensive snaps this season. Despite 2nd‑round offers and interest from the Giants, Cowboys and Jaguars, head coach Aaron Glenn says the Jets will “stand pat,” noting they exercised McDonald’s fifth‑year option worth $13.75 million in 2027. The move comes after the Jets shifted to a 3‑4 scheme, adding David Bailey and Joseph Ossai, pushing McDonald down the depth chart after a 10.5‑sack breakout in 2024 and eight sacks last year.

Brian Schottenheimer should have followed CeeDee Lamb's lead after the Cowboys escaped Indianapolis with a win.
After a 31‑24 win at Indianapolis, the Dallas Cowboys head into Week 10 against the 7‑1 49ers with several key injuries. Starting tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Tyler Goodson are ruled out for multiple weeks, while backup PJ Locke also misses the game. The team’s depth at RB is thin after Goodson’s knee issue, and the defense will need to step up without these starters. Coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasizes a “busy week in the training room,” as Dallas tries to maintain its defensive stops and improve offensive production before the San Francisco matchup.
Houston Astros GM Randy Flores narrows the managerial hunt to four candidates—former catcher‑manager Brad Ausmus, ex‑Astro Morgan Ensberg, Rangers bench coach Luis Urueta, and Hall‑of‑Famer Albert Pujols—after interviewing each this week. Pujols, a 46‑year‑old three‑time NL MVP who led a Dominican Winter League title and managed the 2026 WBC team, stands out despite no MLB managing experience. Ausmus offers the most MLB pedigree (Detroit Tigers, Angels, Yankees bench coach), while Urueta brings recent big‑league bench work and a stint as Marlins interim manager. Flores says the decision will weigh trust, energy and clubhouse chemistry as the Astros, fresh off an 81‑81 season and a Wild Card sweep, seek to rebound in 2027.
After their close loss to the slumping Dallas Cowboys, the Indianapolis Colts remain stuck near the bottom of the AFC South standings.
