What happened: The Dallas Cowboys are open to making additional trades before the deadline, per ProFootballRumors.com. The stance follows the team's recent deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

Why it matters: Owner Jerry Jones has previously stated any roster additions would focus on the defense. The organization must balance further acquisitions against a depleted stock of 2027 draft capital following recent aggressive moves.

By the numbers: Dallas is 3-3 this season, scoring 27.2 points per game while allowing 21.5. The Cowboys are scheduled to face the 0-6 Houston Texans.

What to watch: Watch if Dallas leverages its available cap room for smaller deals to address depth without surrendering more premium draft picks.
