The NFL trade deadline is heating up, and the Dallas Cowboys are right in the middle of it. According to multiple reports, Dallas has expressed interest in Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, sparking speculation of a potential blockbuster deal that could reshape the Cowboys’ defense before the postseason push.

Simmons, widely regarded as one of the league’s most dominant interior defenders, has been the cornerstone of Tennessee’s defense since entering the league in 2019. With two Pro Bowl appearances and a reputation for being nearly unblockable, he’s exactly the kind of player who could elevate the Cowboys’ defense from elite to unstoppable.
League insiders report that Dallas is exploring trade options involving future draft picks and possibly a key defensive piece. While no official offer has been confirmed, the Cowboys’ interest appears genuine — and it fits their recent trend of making aggressive, win-now moves under owner Jerry Jones.
“The Cowboys know their window is open right now,” one NFC executive said. “Adding a player like Jeffery Simmons would completely change how teams prepare for that defense.”
Pairing Simmons with Micah Parsons, Demarcus Lawrence, and Osa Odighizuwa would give the Cowboys arguably the most dominant front four in the NFL. With Simmons’ explosive power and relentless motor, quarterbacks across the league would have even more reason to fear Dallas on game day.
For Tennessee, trading Simmons would be a massive decision. The Titans have been hovering around a rebuild phase, and dealing their defensive cornerstone would signal a full commitment to a long-term roster reset. However, with the right return — multiple early-round picks and cap flexibility — the move could benefit both sides.
Fans have already taken to social media to react, with “Welcome to Dallas, Jeffery Simmons” trending across X (formerly Twitter).
Whether this rumor turns into reality remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: if the Cowboys pull this off, it would be the biggest trade deadline move of the 2025 NFL season.
As “America’s Team” eyes a deep playoff run, the message is clear — Dallas is going all in.
