Jerry Jones has made it clear he's always willing to listen to calls if it means improving the Dallas Cowboys roster.
This is the same man who traded away franchise star Micah Parsons to get Packers Pro Bowler Kenny Clark and two first-round picks right before the 2025 NFL season, and a few months later went all in for Jets All-Pro Quinnen Williams. This season, we've already seen Dallas bring in offensive tackle Broderick Jones, and the Steelers' star corner Joey Porter Jr.
Turns out, though, the Cowboys might be done making moves. Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that he doesn't expect the team to make any major deals before Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.

"A lot of things happen on this last day, but I don't look for us to make a significant trade today," Jones said, adding that they haven't had meaningful discussions inside the building about any player they'd want in several weeks.

It's hard to really know what to believe with Jones. One minute he says a blockbuster trade could be on the table, the next the team has removed itself from the conversation entirely. It's a strange stance to take, not only given his history of making bold trades, but also with this team clearly needing some reinforcements, and not that far out of the playoff picture.
The Cowboys are 4-5 on the season, which puts them in second place in the NFC East behind the 5-2-1 New York Giants, whom they will face in Week 17 in Dallas. Their season isn't over, but they've got some glaring issues on defense, allowing the third-most total yards per game (372.7) and the eighth-most points per game (26.2). They also rank near the bottom of the league in sacks (17) and takeaways (eight).

Dallas has won two of its last three games, albeit against teams all below .500, and there's a chance Jones believes this team can turn things around in the back half of the season. There's also a chance Jones doesn't know what the right move is after making blockbuster trade after blockbuster trade, only for the team to end up in the exact same spot year after year.
