Identifying other possible Cowboys trade targets before cutdown day after Trey Lance deal
By Angel Torres
Players on expiring contracts
The Cowboys have some serious depth at certain positions, so locating players on other teams with similar problems could be a way to fill the teams needs.
The first player I ran into was Arizona's Josh Jones. Entering the fourth year of a rookie contract, the salary cap ramifications would be minimal. Jones played 610 snaps at left tackle for Arizona grading out well in most analytical data sheets.
So why would he be available?
I have no inside info here, but have to think Cardinals OT Josh Jones is going to be elsewhere Week 1

last year of his rookie deal, not slated to start, and he's at minimum a starting caliber OT who's looked great at both RT and LT this preseason https://t.co/FyDqJrNF8q
The Cardinals used the sixth overall selection on left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. They also employ veteran tackles Kelvin Beachum and D.J. Humphries, both of whom financially doesn't make sense to move. That makes Jones a possible fourth tackle and an even more likely trade candidate.
Incredibly, Jones was just traded to the Texans before this writing was published, proving that players on expiring deals should be on Dallas' radar.
