Even if there\u2019s no update. At this point, it makes sense as to most veterans to wait until after June 1. That will result in a lower cap charge in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Jones didn\u2019t think a trade was necessary after the Cowboys appeared to have had a solid draft, selecting offensive lineman Tyler Booker in the first round. They added much-needed help to the defense on Day 2 with defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. before taking Texas running back Jaydon Blue in Round 4.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Dallas needs extra playmakers if it wants to contend with a Commanders team that is set to become strong in Jayden Daniels\u2019 second season in the league and an Eagles team that is coming off a Super Bowl victory and is reloading for another run.<\/p>\n<p>Where\u2019s the smoke, Jerry?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_311118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-311118\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones blasted for flaky trade decision 3\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-1024x694.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-1536x1041.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-450x305.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres-1200x814.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_25122209_168400517_lowres.jpg 1804w\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones Blasted For Flaky Trade Decision\" width=\"788\" height=\"534\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-311118\">Jan 5, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones signs autographs before the game against the Washington Commanders at AT&amp;T Stadium.
