DALLAS — Just when it seemed the Cowboys’ trade window might quietly close, Jerry Jones may be preparing something no one expected — and it might involve saying goodbye to one of Dak Prescott’s closest offensive weapons.
According to multiple league insiders, Dallas could be weighing a surprise trade before the offseason dust settles — not to acquire a big-name player, but to offload a core piece that’s been central to the team’s offense.
The name hasn’t been confirmed publicly, but reports suggest the Cowboys’ front office has quietly fielded calls about a key offensive contributor, described by one source as “a trusted target of Dak Prescott.” The motivation? Cap space, future draft flexibility, and a possible push to retool the roster before the 2025 campaign.
Jones, never one to shy away from a bold headline, hinted last week that “difficult business decisions” could be coming. “You can’t win in this league if you don’t look ahead,” the Cowboys owner said. “Sometimes that means parting ways with players you care deeply about.”
The comment immediately set off alarms in Cowboys Nation, with fans speculating about who might be on the move. Some analysts believe the team could explore trading a wide receiver or tight end to bolster the defense — an area that’s struggled to maintain consistency this season.
NFL insiders describe the situation as “fluid but real.” One executive told Pro Football Talk:
“There’s legitimate interest out there. Teams know Dallas is trying to stay under the cap but still contend. That means someone important might go.”
For Dak Prescott, who’s built strong chemistry with his offensive core, the potential loss could sting. “Dak has a tight bond with his guys,” one teammate said. “If one of them goes, it’s going to hit hard.”
Meanwhile, Cowboys fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions — some demanding Jones stay aggressive, others pleading not to “tear apart the offense right when it’s starting to click.”
Whatever happens, one thing’s clear: Jerry Jones is never quiet for long.
And if this deal goes through, it could reshape the Cowboys’ locker room — and the future of Dak Prescott’s offense — overnight.
