If you don’t like the lyrics you can press fast forward.
Trade deadline came, trade deadline went. The Cowboys stood ten toes down, literally. Despite a ton of hype that was injected into the fan base when owner Jerry Jones hinted he was more than ready to give up some future draft capital to win now, Dallas didn’t take part in the most active trade deadline day in league history. In fact, not only did the Cowboys not add anyone, but they decided to move away from someone, releasing 2019 second-round pick Trysten Hill. Meanwhile, 15 different teams were involved in draft-day trades.
Two sources directly involved tell me #Cowboys and #Texans discussed a potential trade involving WR Brandin Cooks until the final minutes before the NFL trade deadline expired. Draft pick compensation and the $18M guaranteed salary for Cooks in 2023 could not be resolved in time
