3 players the Dallas Cowboys could trade for Xavien Howard

Kelvin Joseph, CB

If the Miami Dolphins do elect to trade away their Pro Bowl cornerback in Xavien Howard, it only makes sense that they may want a quality defensive back in return. And out of all the options the Cowboys have to offer, perhaps rookie Kelvin Joseph makes the most sense.

Now, the Cowboys just drafted the 21-year old corner in the second round out of Kentucky back in April. And most seem to agree Joseph possesses first-round level talent. If the Dolphins feel the same, perhaps Dallas could package him as part of a trade offer for Howard.

If the Cowboys were somehow able to trade for Howard, he’d ideally play opposite Trevon Diggs, who is entering a very promising sophomore season in Dallas. That would leave veterans Anthony Brown and Jourdan Lewis to man the slot and third-round rookie Nahshon Wright to develop for a future role.

In exchange, the Dolphins get a potential starter on a rookie deal in return to pair with former Cowboy Pro Bowler Byron Jones. Although Miami may prefer someone like Diggs instead.

In the end, the Dallas Cowboys have some very talented players to offer as potential assets in a trade for Xavien Howard. It’s only a matter of whether Dallas even wants to make an offer for Howard and how much it might cost them to do so.
