Been working on today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comment comes just two days before the NFL Draft is set to kick off in Green Bay this Thursday. It also comes on the same day EVP Stephen Jones reveals that the\u00a0Cowboys are struggling to find common ground with the team\u2019s star player, Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt comes with the territory,\u201d\u00a0Jones said as quoted by Jon Machota of the Athletic. \u201cRight now there is a difference in what we feel is the right number and what he feels is the right number.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Trade Rumors Snowballing<\/h2>\n<p>With the draft just two days away, it would be hard to believe any rumor circulating around the NFL\u2019s biggest weekend. NFL Network\u2019s Jane Slater has been hard at work trying to put out these trade fires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see it all on my timeline (and) no idea where it originated so I asked and no disrespect to anyone putting it out there but the Courtland Sutton to Dallas via trade \u2018fake news\u2019 per a source informed,\u201d\u00a0tweeted Slater early Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Slater has became a self appointed Cowboys\u2019 rumor fire-fighter as she got nearly 1,000,000 impressions on March 26th when she took to X yet again to speak on a trade rumor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI run it all down when working this beat and the Dallas Cowboys are NOT working on trading Dak to the Browns,\u201d\u00a0Slater said in response to someone claiming they had a Browns source. \u201cIn fact, texts with two sources tell me \u2018fake news\u2019 and \u2018absolutely not\u2019 before this gets any sort of wheels.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Who Could Be In Play<\/h2>\n<p>While many are taking Jerry\u2019s comments to mean the team is looking to make a draft day trade, Stephen Jones said just last week that that may not be the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExecutive vice president Stephen Jones said during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan on April 15 that he \u2018doesn\u2019t necessarily\u2019 see them trying to trade up in the first round based on how the board is shaping up,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0reported Bleacher Report\u2019s Adam Wells.<\/p>\n<p>All mocks point to the Cowboys assessing their receiver need in this weeks draft. Should they not be able to land their wide receiver two to pair next to one of the leagues best in Ceedee Lamb, the Cowboys\u2019 could certainly be eyeing a high tier receiver in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Wells is not ready to limit the trade rumors to Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJerry Jones\u2019 comments don\u2019t suggest the trades are only being limited to the draft,\u201d Wells wrote. \u201cThere\u2019s no obvious trade candidate on the roster who rises to the level of a \u2018substantial\u2019 trade, unless something unexpected were to happen with someone like Micah Parsons as he waits for a new contract.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty New head coach of the Dallas Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0have had an uncharacteristically quiet offseason, but owner Jerry Jones says that could be coming to&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
