What happened: Yahoo Sports published a list of trade candidates the Dallas Cowboys could pursue before the 2026 season begins. The report frames the targets as lower-profile additions rather than marquee names.

Why it matters: Dallas has spent the offseason retooling after the Micah Parsons trade fallout left the defense thin, leaning on a defensive unit still being rebuilt around rookies and veterans. Front-office moves of this kind would add to a roster already reshaped by the abandoned Chiefs pick swap and ongoing Pickens trade speculation.

What to watch: Watch for Dallas front-office activity as training camp approaches and the roster takes shape for the 2026 season.
