🚨FURIOUS GEORGE PICKENS DROPS BOMBSHELL ABOUT COWBOYS AND THE JERRY JONES | COWBOYS news. dallas cowboys news today
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, lowering expectations for significant trade activity before the NFL trade deadline. 'When that phone’s not ringing, that’s me calling,' Jones said, referring to his proactive approach when potential trade partners are not reaching out.
Jones emphasized that the Cowboys are open for business but acknowledged that major deals are unlikely. '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,' he stated.
Despite the Cowboys' 5-4 record and their position in the playoff hunt, Jones indicated that the team will focus on addressing their running back position after Tyler Goodson's knee injury. 'A lot of things happen on that last day,' Jones noted, suggesting that the team might look to sign a player from outside the organization rather than making a trade.
The NFL trade deadline is approaching, with teams like the Colts and Vikings exploring potential quarterback trades. Daniel Jones, who signed a two-year, $88 million contract with the Colts this offseason, has struggled this season, completing only 60.4% of his passes for 1,542 yards, five touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The Colts, now at 2-6, are reportedly open to trading Jones if someone is willing to take on his contract.
What this adds
Pump prices rose 25.7% y/y, but CPI excluding gasoline held at 2.2% for a third straight month, and CPI excluding food and energy rose 1.9%, above expectations.

What's still developing
- ET on Tuesday and Jones is heading toward that hour with low expectations for major changes to the roster.
- But as a 5-4 team firmly in the playoff hunt, Tuesday's trade deadline presented the perfect opportunity to add even more depth, which they were apparently pretty close to doing.
- "Not only do I have expectations," Jones said of his high hopes for the remainder of the season, "I have really sound basis of saying, we're better than [what we've shown], and we can improve in the areas that have really frustrated us, especially last week."
- The lefty, who won the American League Cy Young Award in both 2024 and 2025, met the massive expectations placed on him when he joined the Dodgers just before the trade deadline.
- Pump prices rose 25.7% y/y, but CPI excluding gasoline held at 2.2% for a third straight month, and CPI excluding food and energy rose 1.9%, above expectations.
- The 2026 NFL trade deadline is still a few weeks away.
- If he lives up to expectations, Chicago could become legitimate Super Bowl contenders for multiple seasons.
- Although the Raiders have defied expectations with their 3-2 start, Prisco noted they have two tough upcoming games against the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams before the trade deadline.
- Michael Jackson’s 1993 performance helped answer that problem, and more than three decades later, the show that reset expectations is getting its own documentary.
