Jourdan Lewis and 2 other depth pieces Cowboys could surprisingly trade in 2023

Cowboys could trade Dorance Armstrong

Much like cornerback, pass rushing depth is paramount in today's NFL. You can never have too many pass rushers, but the Cowboys are stacked in that department with Micah Parsons, who's bulking up as he transitions to a full-time edge rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence, Sam Williams, Dante Fowler and Armstrong.

Parsons likely isn't to come off the field often, so there are only so many snaps to go around. We say that despite knowing Dan Quinn wants to keep his rushers fresh and deploy a reasonably heavy rotation.

Armstrong played 47% of the snaps in 2022 and you have to assume the team plans to give Williams more opportunities in year two after he registered four sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 22 pressures, and nine QB hits as a rookie.

Armstrong's 8.5 sacks last season were a career high, but he faded down the stretch after a blazing hot start. In fact, he posted eight sacks over the first 11 games, meaning he notched just a half-sack over the final six fixtures.

The Cowboys could save $5.75 million against the cap by trading Armstrong after June 1. Like Lewis, we're not campaigning for Dallas to offload one of Quinn's edge rushers, but the sheer logjam at the position indicates it's a possibility.
