Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said repeatedly that he’s open for business on the trade front, but every deal needs a partner and it doesn’t sound like the Cowboys are finding much luck on that front.
The trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday and Jones is heading toward that hour with low expectations for major changes to the roster.
“You know that old country song? When that phone’s not ringing, that’s me calling,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. “It’s really not ringing, which you’ve heard me say numerous times — that’s when you make a trade. Don’t count it out. A lot of things happen on that last day. But I don’t look for us to make a significant trade today.”
Jones did say that the team will make a move to address running back after losing Tyler Goodson to a knee injury, but he said he thinks that move is more likely to involve signing someone from outside the organization than it is to come via a trade.
