Cowboys news: ESPN gives the Cowboys the highest trade deadline grade for the Michael Bennett deal

The Cowboys have earned the highest grade so far according to ESPN staff writer, Bill Barnwell.

Cowboys grade: A

For the Cowboys, though, this is absolutely a risk worth taking. They’re only on the hook for about $1.8 million in base salary over the remainder of 2019, with $8.25 million in unguaranteed compensation left on his deal in 2020. Dallas ranks 22nd in pressure rate through seven weeks, so adding Bennett offers the defense a much-needed boost behind DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn.
