Report: Cowboy make a trade, acquiring DT Eli Ankou for a seventh-round pick

Just this week, the Dallas Cowboys admitted a mistake and released free agent signee Dontari Poe. That has left them with a short defensive tackle room, especially with Trysten Hill gone for the season (not to mention Gerald McCoy before that). To remedy that problem, the Cowboys have, according to sources, made a trade for Eli Ankou.

The cost to acquire the defensive tackle was a seventh-round pick.
