Cowboys looking for last-minute trades prior to roster-cut deadline?

Final roster cuts this year are scheduled for Saturday, September 2nd. Prior to 4:00 p.m. ET, teams must reduce rosters in one fell swoop from the current 90 to a maximum of 53 players on the Active/Inactive List.

The Cowboys have traditionally been very busy working the phones during and after roster cuts as they've looked to trade or add players.

  • In 2013, a trade didn't materialize until after final roster cuts when the Cowboys traded for LB Edgar Jones from the Kansas City Chiefs on the day after final roster cuts.
