Cowboys’ perfect Josh Sweat trade offer to Cardinals before NFL trade deadline

The Dallas Cowboys are eyeing a pass‑rush boost by targeting Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat before the NFL trade deadline. A proposed swap would send Dallas a 2028 third‑round pick for Sweat and a 2028 fifth‑rounder, giving Arizona a draft upgrade while Dallas gains a proven sack producer under contract through 2028. Sweat, who logged a career‑high 12 sacks in 2025, has only one sack in five games this season but offers rebound potential. The Cowboys rank near the bottom in sacks and pressures, making the move a strategic, multiyear fix rather than a panic purchase. However, Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort has denied trade talks, so Dallas must negotiate carefully.

Rams PFF grades: Matthew Stafford outright bad vs Cardinals

The Los Angeles Rams fell 18-16 to the 1-4 Arizona Cardinals, leaving both clubs at 2-4 and dead‑last in the NFC West. Pro Football Focus gave quarterback Matthew Stafford a dismal 50.6 grade – the third‑worst among Rams offensive players and 17th‑ranked signal‑caller league‑wide – after a turnover‑laden performance and a meager 5.3‑yard average depth of target. In contrast, the offense’s top grades went to left tackle David Quessenberry (83.0), running back Blake Corum (77.9), and wide receiver Puka Nacua (74.7). Defensively, cornerback Josh Wallace led with an 84.7 grade. The article suggests the Rams should consider benching Stafford as they head into a matchup against the Raiders.

The Cardinals opened the season with a 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sept. 13, then endured a four‑game skid before the SoFi triumph.

Rams-Cardinals takeaways: Playoffs odds take hit…

The Rams’ 18-16 loss to the Cardinals in Week 6 drops their playoff odds to 43%, raising doubts about their NFC West wild‑card hopes. Los Angeles struggled offensively, incurred costly penalties—including a false start by Warren McClendon and an unnecessary roughness call on Josh Wallace—and exposed tackling woes as the Cardinals ran 70 plays. Defensive lapses allowed the run game to dominate, while a post‑game altercation involving Alaric Jackson led to a reduced suspension but intensified early blitz pressure, resulting in three sacks on Stafford. With the 49ers at 96% and Seahawks at 58% for the postseason, the Rams must correct execution across all three phases to stay alive.
