Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones made headlines Monday when he revealed on SiriusXM Radio the team made a trade ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. But after watching the Cowboys for three quarters Monday night, Troy Aikman feels that Jones might want to reconsider.
The Cowboys wrapped up the third quarter of Monday’s Week 9 home against the Arizona Cardinals down 27-10. Aikman has some concerns about his former team.
“Yeah, he may want to cancel that trade,” Aikman said. “I don’t think one player, from what I’ve seen tonight, is going to make a difference for this group.”
Jones said of the player they have apparently acquired, “immediately it will have him on the field, and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.” That would indicate a move to help fix Dallas’ No. 31 ranked defense, which came into Monday’s game having allowed 404.6 yards per game and 31.3 points per game. It hasn’t been any better against the Cardinals, who have had zero issue moving the ball on the Cowboys’ defense.
