That’s despite the fact a trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper last season turned their 3-5 start around, allowing the team to win the NFC East with a season-ending record of 10-6.

Despite that expectation, the Cowboys haven’t been quiet. Just last week Dallas pulled off a surprising trade with the New England Patriots for 33-year old defensive lineman Michael Bennett. The trade itself was relatively inexpensive only costing the Cowboys a conditional seventh-round selection in 2021.

It appears the Cowboys have been actively looking into making some additions to their roster before the deadline. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that Dallas was investigating a possible trade with the New York Jets for defensive tackle Leonard Williams prior to making the move for Bennett.
