Jerry Jones gets a lot of heat for selling hope amid adversity. He tried with all of his might to spread optimism after the Dallas Cowboys' feeble loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. While his words fell on deaf ears, his actions before Tuesday's deadline have completely flipped the script.
In a true deadline stunner, the Cowboys have traded for New York Jets star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. It's a move that changes the entire complexion of Dallas' future, even if it ultimately doesn't propel them to a playoff berth this season.
The Cowboys gave up a lot to acquire Williams.
