Rumors swirl about Cowboys: Expert Mike Florio seeks clarity on Jones' two significant trades yet to materialize
The offseason for the Dallas Cowboys has been a rollercoaster ride, brimming with drama and leaving fans somewhat underwhelmed after a disheartening 2024 season. With the 2025 NFL Draft behind us, fans are eagerly waiting to see if their team can make a splash before the season kicks off.
Team owner Jerry Jones made some bold claims, mentioning two major trades that were in the works ahead of the draft, but so far, these deals seem elusive. Sports journalist Mike Florio, in his article for ProFootballTalk, voiced his disappointment saying, "It's almost as if he never even said it."
Throughout the offseason, the Cowboys have flirted with various moves, but their owner has mostly been embroiled in a contract dispute with superstar linebacker Micah Parsons. While Jones' trade declaration sparked hopes among fans, to this point, there have been no deals sealed, and Florio didn't mince words when discussing the situation.
"Two days before the draft started, Jones grabbed the headlines by claiming that he was working on 'two pretty substantive trades' that could happen 'before or after the draft.' One week and one day since the draft ended, we're still waiting," Florio wrote.
Pressure Mounts on Jones and Cowboys for Offensive Maneuvers
Various reports have named NFL Draft "Sleeper" Jaydon Blue alongside Cowboys' Dak Prescott as potential game-changers. Brian Schottenheimer, the new head coach, explained an intriguing decision regarding Parsons and Prescott.
Cowboys legend Michael Irvin offered his services to the team with a shredded photo, and the Cowboys opted against exercising the 5th-year option on CB Tremaine Edmunds, who they had acquired from the Bills. The most significant move Dallas has made this offseason has been promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to the head coach position following the non-renewal of Mike McCarthy's contract.
