NFL Rumors: Cowboys 'Not Expected to Be Major Movers' at 2023 Trade Deadline

The Dallas Cowboys reportedly aren't likely to make any significant roster moves ahead of the Oct. 31 NFL trade deadline.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, sources have indicated that the Cowboys are not expected to be "major movers" due to the fact that they are happy with their team as it is currently constructed.

At 4-2, the Cowboys are one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC East lead and occupy a wild card spot.

One-third of the way through the season, the Cowboys have been a tough team to figure out at times.

They blew out the New York Giants and New York Jets by a combined score of 70-10 over the first two weeks of the season, which helped give them a plus-54 point differential, putting them behind only the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions in the NFC.

However, Dallas shockingly fell 28-16 to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, marking the Cards' only win of the season to this point. The Cowboys also got outclassed by the Niners in a 42-10 drubbing in Week 5.

After that, the Cowboys finally proved they could win a tight road game, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17 this past Monday night.

Dallas' first three wins of the season were by an average of over 31 points per game, but the Chargers win could inspire confidence that the Cowboys will be able to get it done in competitive games as well.

While the Cowboys are eighth in the NFL in total defense and sixth in scoring defense, two key members of that unit are on injured reserve in cornerback Trevon Diggs and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch.

Dallas essentially has its full allotment of weapons offensively, but it will likely need more consistent play from quarterback Dak Prescott moving forward, as he has thrown six touchdowns and four interceptions through six games.

The Cowboys would also benefit from their secondary receivers stepping up in support of CeeDee Lamb, who leads the team with 34 receptions for 475 yards.

Running back Tony Pollard is second on the team in catches and tight end Jake Ferguson is third, whereas wideout Michael Gallup has just 18 catches for 220 yards and no touchdowns, and Brandin Cooks has 13 grabs for 109 yards and one score.

The Cowboys could perhaps benefit from adding a receiver to complement Lamb or a cornerback to replace Diggs, who is out for the season, but they have one of the most talented rosters in the league already and may have enough to make a deep playoff run if they can put it all together.
