Jerry Jones on his trade talk: It's not a done deal, but I'm leaning toward doing it

The Dallas Cowboys are contemplating a potential trade ahead of the NFL's Tuesday 4 p.m. ET deadline. After a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones clarified that while a trade was discussed, it is not yet finalized. Jones indicated he is considering executing the trade but has not made a final decision. Despite a 3-5-1 record, the team intends to be buyers if a trade occurs. The Cowboys' defense ranks 31st in the league, making significant improvement unlikely with a single player addition. Jones acknowledged the need for strategic decisions, influenced by input from various commentators, including Troy Aikman, who advised against proceeding with the trade. Jones emphasized that all options remain open until the deadline.
