Dallas Cowboys trade buzz (Image via Getty) The Dallas Cowboys are once again in the offseason spotlight, with owner Jerry Jones reportedly considering a bold roster move that could free up $8.65 million in cap space, likely at the expense of veteran safety Donovan Wilson. This strategic decision comes in the wake of a disappointing 2024 season and may signal bigger plans, including a potential trade for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Young safeties extended as Cowboys clear path for major defensive addition
With the Cowboys’ secondary hit hard by injuries last season, adding a shutdown corner like Jalen Ramsey could be transformative. The Miami Dolphins are rumored to be open to moving the high-priced star due to internal tensions and his hefty $21 million salary cap hit. While acquiring Ramsey would be a splash, it would require financial flexibility, hence the need for cap-clearing moves.As noted by podcaster Dan Rogers on X, “The team can save $8.65 million in cap space by releasing Donovan Wilson after June 1st.” That move would align with the Cowboys’ recent extensions for young safeties Markquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas, and Israel Mukuamu, indicating a shift toward a younger, cost-effective secondary.If healthy, Trevon Diggs and Jalen Ramsey could become one of the most dominant cornerback duos in the NFL. However, the Cowboys must also manage a looming extension for Micah Parsons, whose agent David Mulugheta also represents Ramsey. Past tensions between Mulugheta and Jones could complicate negotiations.Still, the upside is massive. Pairing Ramsey’s elite coverage skills with Parsons’ pass rush and a rejuvenated front seven could elevate Dallas’ defense to championship level. As trade rumors intensify, fans are eager to see if Jerry Jones is ready to go all-in before the window closes.Also Read: “That’s dirty talk”: Raiders rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson reveals Geno Smith’s passionate first message after tradeWith salary cap gymnastics, veteran cuts, and possible blockbuster trades, the Cowboys’ 2025 offseason is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic in recent franchise history.
