Cowboys' Jerry Jones Says He's Willing to 'Go for It' in Trade Market amid 6-2 Start

If owner Jerry Jones is aggressive ahead of the trade deadline, the Dallas Cowboys could be even better.

His plan seems to be that one.

Jones said he would do that when he had a chance to do something that would be interpreted but real meat on the bone. I think we have a good chance here. I'd do that. I would give up future currency to get it.

Dallas would have been happy with a 6-2 start coming into the season, and that is even more the case if it had known that Dak was going to be out.

The two-time Pro Bowler had surgery on his thumb after he injured it in the first game of the season. In the past, that could have ended the team's chances of competing in the division.

Cooper Rush kept the Cowboys afloat and put them in position to make a run later in the season.

He led his side to two victories over the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions in the last two weeks. During the win over the Bears on Sunday, he was 21-of-27 for 250 yards, two touchdown and one pick up.

Is the team going to add any depth before the deadline?

Even with the league's most dominant player, the defense can take some strides. The Bears averaged over six yards per carry on their way to over 200 yards and two scores on the ground.

The health of those who missed Sunday's game may be something to worry about.

With a bye week and time to assess its roster, Dallas is in an ideal position to make a move at the trade deadline. The Cowboys look like a potential contender if they are able to catch the Eagles in the East.
