What happened: Ed Werder cited Dallas' past trade for Amari Cooper as a potential blueprint for owner Jerry Jones ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Werder noted the Cowboys could look to target an edge rusher to strengthen the defense.

Why it matters: Dallas currently holds the No. 10 seed in the NFC following an uneven first half of the season. Adding pass-rush depth would address defensive consistency as the club attempts to stay in playoff contention.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline closes Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET.
