What happened: Jones called the owner-to-owner trade talks a legitimate discussion during Tuesday's training-camp news conference. Dallas is seeking a pass rusher or linebacker capable of making an immediate impact.

Why it matters: The stance reopens a roster-building question after Dallas traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay before the 2025 season. A deal would convert future draft flexibility into help for the 2026 opener.

What to watch: Watch whether Monday's talks advance during camp and which defensive position Dallas prioritizes before opening day.
