The Dallas Cowboys have made midseason trades two years in a row. Last year it was for wide receiver Amari Cooper and this season it was for defensive lineman Michael Bennett.
The Cowboys apparently were not finished this year as they were actively pursuing New York Jets safety Jamal Adams up to the 4:00 PM eastern trade deadline on Tuesday. Adams would fill a glaring need that has not been filled since should-be Hall of Fame safety Darren Woodson retired in 2003.
Adams, who played his high school football at nearby Hebron High School in Carrollton, Texas is a third-year safety that the Jets drafted sixth overall in the 2017 NFL draft.
