[BREAKING] JEFFERY SIMMONS TO DALLAS? COWBOYS FANS ELECTRIFIED BY TRADE RUMORS FOR TOP DT

Let’s start with Adam. What are some names you’ve heard in trade rumors over the past 24 hours or so? Well, I think there’s some focus on wide receivers here leading up to the trade deadline. The New Orleans Saints have Rasheed Shahed, Chris Olive, and the veteran Brandon Cooks. They’re working to try to resign Chris Olavi, which would seem to indicate that they perhaps would be willing to listen on the other players like Rasheed Shahed and Brandon Cooks. Those are not the only receivers that are drawing interest across the league. Jacobe Myers could generate some interest. He’s asked to be traded. The Raiders are hesitant to move him unless they got an offer that they felt was fair and substantial and so far that has not happened nor materialize. And of course, there are questions about other players out there right now at the pass rush position waiting to see whether any of them become free. But we’ve seen so far in the month of October eight trades. Eight. I would say that the overunder from now till Tuesday might be five more bringing us to 13 by Tuesday. We’ll see whether that comes under, whether comes over, but I would think at least five more between now and Tuesday. All right, some key info there, people. Peter, there’s one division you’re keeping a close eye on in the coming days. Which one is it? I think the AFC East is fascinating. I think there’s been a lot of dialogue over the Buffalo Bills need to go and find themselves an outside receiver, a deep threat. The problem is the Buffalo Bills Bills are in salary cap hell. They don’t have the the wiggle room that a lot of teams do. In fact, they’re the worst in the league when it comes to current cap space. So, you have to be rational here. And Bills fans might not want to hear this, but last year when they got Amari Cooper, there was some wiggle room to do so. This year, not so much. Meanwhile, the Patriots, everything’s turning up Patriots right now. Obviously, they are in the driver’s seat in the division with that tiebreaker over the Bills. They have the most salary cap space in the entire league. Are they going to be buyers? Now, we know they traded away Keon White. We know they traded away Kyle Duggar, but was that to clear even more cap space for one more move? And just a real quick point on the other two teams. Dolphins lose tonight. They could be sellers with guys like Bradley Chub, Germaine Phillips, and of course, Matthew Judon on the roster. And then the Jets, as uplifting as that victory was last week, they’re not going anywhere this year. They have a lot of players in the final year of their contract. Could they be sellers before the deadline as well? And Peter, you bring up the Dolphins. I think the two edge rushers have drawn some attention across the league. Jaylen Phillips, Bradley Chub, I think teams believe that at least one of those pass rushers will be shipped out of Miami by the time the trade deadline hits Tuesday 4:00. Tonight, the Dolphins play. So, this could be the last game tonight. Oh, well, we lost you there for just a second, but the point still came across, Adam. It was great stuff. Really interesting. I mean, those two players, Chub and Phillips, they could actually make a lot of teams a lot better, especially contenders. Haven’t talked about the Cowboys. Isn’t that amazing? Cowboys. Oh, you know this, they have a contractually obligated to talk about the Cowboys every day, even though they defense can’t stop a bloody nose. Oh, man. All right. Message received. And by the way, those guys are so good. We now have the Hall of Famer, Cowboys legend Troy Aman joining the show. Troy, we’re on the broadcast of Monday Night Cowboys Cardinals. I is Barklay’s analysis right about the Cowboys defense. What? He he is right about one thing. I think there is a a contractual obligation for every network to talk about the Cowboys. Uh but yeah, no uh Laura, you know that the defense has has had a tough go at it and uh coming off a difficult game against Denver and how they’re going to fix it is anybody’s guess. We’re going to we’re going to find out if maybe they got some of it resolved here on Monday night. Yeah, sometimes it can be a little game changer for some people. You know, a little difference in the schedule, things like that. Prime time. Let’s stay on the Cowboys where first year head coach Brian Shottenheimer, he made it clear it’s not just the defense. Let’s listen to what he said needs to improve. None of us have done good enough. That’s that’s real. I mean, our our scorecard is what it is. You know, uh, and that’s not just, you know, defensively, that’s offensively. You know, we’re a football team. This three, four, and one. You can take the stats on offense and shove them up. As far as I am concerned, I mean, is what it is. We want to win, you know, and people talk about, hey, MVP and this and that. Dak Prescott doesn’t want to win MVP, you know. He wants to win a Super Bowl. Tell him, Shotty, uh, what do you think of those comments? Well, I think he’s he’s right. Uh, I mean, it is a team effort and and I and I’ve said this. I think that when you look at the Cowboys and how they’ve been built, a a large chunk of the money obviously is on the offensive side of the ball. Now, that’s true for a lot of teams, but maybe a little bit more disproportionate with the Cowboys. And so you do expect the offense to have to carry more of the load, but you do also expect the defense to do a little bit more than what they’ve been able to do. And I think they’ve tried uh Matt Everfloose has has tried to give some different looks to change things up. Uh it worked a couple of weeks ago against Washington. I think a large part of that was due to the injuries that they had at wide receiver. They were without three of their top guys. uh didn’t work as well this last week, of course, with Denver, an offense that had been somewhat inconsistent, and now they face a Cardinals offense that has proven to be inconsistent as well. Uh and so, I’m sure that Arizona comes into this game feeling like maybe they can get right offensively against the Cowboys defense. But until they prove that they can stop some teams consistently, uh it’s going to be something that that Brian Shottenheimimer and everyone else is going to have to talk about each and every week. We had the Lions on Monday night a couple weeks back. We we felt like maybe give the game ball to their defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepard. I mean, they had all these I did. I did give them the game ball. I don’t know if I don’t know if Dan Campbell did, but I did for what they Well, listen. I mean, Troy, your game ball matters a whole a whole lot right now. Well, not really. 100 billion present value. And he said to the reporter, “That’s why I’m talking to you and not fixing the Cowboys defense.” And it was funny unless you’re a Cowboys fan. Dak Prescott actually was asked about it yesterday and he said, “I understand why the fans are frustrated.” Now, maybe he was just being flippant, but it underscores the fact that the guy who installed himself as the GM of the team when he bought the team, his only credentials to be the general manager of an NFL team is he bought the team and made himself the GM. If you’re going to be spending time with this new business interest that supposedly is worth hundred billion dollars, peel off some of it and hire a general manager, a real general manager, and get out of the way and let others make the decisions about your football team. You can focus on your natural gas glory hole and you can let somebody else focus on your football team. Show us something, Jerry Jones, by stepping back if you truly are allin with natural gas. And I’ll give it to Dak. Dak said, “Hey, uh, Jerry Jones has always told you who he is and what he’s about.” And so that was, and that was Dak saying that, “Hey, he’s not trying to fool anybody. He’s really, as you said, he’s obsessed with some form of glory hole.” Well, I’ll say this. Show me something. We talked about them earlier, too. The Buffalo Bills. Show me something that will last into January. Show me something in November that will be relevant in January. You take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Cowboys Nation, gather round. Because what I’m about to tell you might just change how we view this season and what I believe the Cowboys must do. We are in trade deadline territory and a name has floated into the storm. Jeffrey Simmons. Yes, the Probo defensive tackle from the Tennessee Titans. And yes, the Cowboys are being linked, but this isn’t a rumor to pass over lightly. This is a possibility that could reshape everything. Let’s dig in. First, we’ve got to admit the problem. The Cowboys defense has been a major disappointment. The front that used to dominate, it’s given up too much. The interior has been gashed. Opponents running through the middle. passers sitting back in clean pockets. It’s not what Dallas football is supposed to look like. So, when you see a player like Simmons, you sit up because this isn’t about doing a little bit better. It’s about resetting. Simmons is a disruptor. He’s designed to wreck blocking schemes, to collapse pockets, to demand attention. That kind of presence could alter the dynamic on our defense immediately. Now, let’s lay out the facts. Jeffrey Simmons, age 28, is under contract through 2027. He signed a big extension. He’s regarded as one of the top defensive tackles in the league. He’s dangerous. But here’s where the twist comes. Despite his value, despite the Cowboys need, multiple reports say the Titans have marked Simmons as untouchable ahead of the deadline. So yes, Dallas could target him, but the window might be narrow. The cost would be high, the return steep. But maybe that’s exactly the point. A cost like that sends a message. It says, “We’re serious. We’re not adding depth. We’re adding gamechanging.” Under a coach like Matt Eberflis, whose defense is supposed to be built on gap discipline, interior pressure, and speed at the second level, Simmons fits. The analysis from inside the Star even proposed a trade scenario, sending Terrence Steel, Brock Hoffman, and a 2026 firstround pick to Tennessee for Simmons and Cedric Gray. Imagine Simmons in Dallas. The run game of opponents takes a hit. The interior pocket shrinks. The edge rusher gets more lanes because the tackle inside is commanding attention. The linebackers flow downhill faster. the defense starts looking like the defense we expect. That’s crucial because we’ve been good enough to score, but not good enough to stop. That imbalance kills playoff hopes. Let’s consider how this trade rumor developed. The Titans are in transition. They’re slumping. Their coach was fired. They are rebuilding. Simmons remains one of the few proven players on the squad. Analysts list him as a top value. Yet simultaneously, insiders say he’s off the market. That tension means two things. Either Dallas will have to go heavy to get him, or the Cowboys will pivot to another target. But either way, this storyline energizes the fan base. Here is where the fans must lean in because negotiations are not public, but the signals are there. Now, I want to ask you, how do you feel about the cost? Because adding Simmons could involve years of draft capital. It could mean giving up assets. It could mean financial flexibility takes a hit. But ask yourself, what is the cost of not acting? What is the cost if the defense remains as it is, if we continue to watch opponents run right through us and pass comfortably? That cost is the window, ours sliding shut. So sometimes you accept the high price for high reward. Another layer, this move would reinforce strategy. It would show that the front office led by Jerry Jones is not content with good. They want great. He recently said the team has the ammo to make trades if the right one is out there. That’s not fluff. That’s commitment. And this could be the manifestation of that commitment. But let’s keep it real. Not everything is roses. If Simmons comes and the defense still struggles, then we’ve paid big for the same result. If the culture doesn’t adjust, if the scheme doesn’t tighten, if the younger players don’t step up, then it won’t matter how many stars you add. So, part of this is preparation, part is faith, part is expectation, and part is accountability. Here’s the emotional core of all of this. I still believe. I believe in Dallas. I believe in the fans. I believe the offense. But championships are built on both sides of the ball. And lately, our defense has been the side we neglect. Bringing in Jeffrey Simmons isn’t just about a guy with a sack record. It’s about reclaiming identity. It’s about saying we’re going to be a force again. It’s about flipping from reactive to dominant. Now, Cowboys Nation, this is your moment to speak. What do you think? Do you want Simmons in Dallas? Do you believe the Cowboys should go big and invest heavily for him? Or should they target other more affordable pieces and build incrementally? Let me know in the comments. Hit like if you’re still in this fight. And if you want to stay locked in, subscribe to Dallas Game Day. Every rumor, every move, every defensive shift, we’re covering it. Because this season isn’t over. Not by a long shot. But if we don’t act, it might slip through our fingers. Let’s not let that happen. Let’s demand the best. Let’s restore the stars legacy on both sides of the ball. Let’s go Cowboys.
