The Dallas Cowboys' owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, is refusing to give up on the 2025 season, despite the team's current 2-3-1 record. Jones is optimistic that the team can turn things around, citing the Washington Commanders' loss to the Chicago Bears as a reminder that the Cowboys are still in the running in the NFC East. The division is led by the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a 4-2 record but have lost two straight games. The Commanders are 3-3 and will visit the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. Jones is encouraged by the stellar play of quarterback Dak Prescott and believes that the team can make some wins if they can get over their injury situation. The NFL trade deadline is three weeks away, and the Cowboys have extra first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, as well as $31 million in salary cap space. Jones is open to making a trade to help the defense, which is currently last in the league in yards per game and second to last in points per game. He is considering a trade for a player like Amari Cooper, who could help the team turn things around, as they did in 2018 when they traded for Cooper and won seven of their last nine games. However, Jones is also aware of the financial implications of trading Micah Parsons, who is set to count $21 million against the Cowboys' cap, and is considering other options. The Cowboys have struggled at every level of their defense, and Jones is hoping that some key players will return from injury before the trade deadline, including linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. Jones is weighing the likelihood of these players returning and how they will impact the team, as well as whether to add a player in a trade. He is taking a cautious approach and is not currently considering any trades, but is keeping an open mind and is willing to make a move if the right opportunity arises.
