What happened: Calling the two-time All-Pro an 'absolute freak,' Russell Wilson pointed to the Dallas Cowboys as a trade contender because owner Jerry Jones is 'not afraid of spending money.' The endorsement adds to outside calls for the front office to acquire top-tier talent during the midseason transaction window.

Why it matters: Pushing for a splash acquisition contrasts with Jerry Jones expecting no further defensive trades while leaning on internal options. Still, the 84-year-old owner previously stated Dallas would operate as a buyer rather than a seller while chasing a sixth Super Bowl title.

By the numbers: Dallas sits at 3-4 in the regular season and holds the No. 11 seed after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on Oct. 26.

What to watch: Front offices across the NFL have until the Nov. 10 trade deadline to finalize roster moves.
