What happened: Cowboys legend Troy Aikman gave his view on what he would do at the trade deadline if he were Dallas' general manager, Dallas News reported. The Cowboys come in 3-5 after a 30-33 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 1.

Why it matters: Dallas sits 13th in the seeding with one loss in a row, and the Cowboys have been part of recent deadline chatter. An outside voice with Aikman's standing adds to the debate over whether the club buys, sells or holds.

By the numbers: Cowboys: 3-5 in 2026 through 8 games, seed 13. Last game: lost 30-33 to the Arizona Cardinals (Nov. 1).

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