The Dallas Cowboys have talked this offseason about how safety is their weakest position and according to Stephen Jones, other teams have noticed and have been making calls trying to trade them a safety.
Jones was at a golf outing on Wednesday and said other teams that have a surplus at safety and need help at other positions have been calling trying to swing a trade.
“We’ve been getting a few calls,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told reporters Wednesday at an annual golf outing for team sponsors via USA Today Sports. “People needing things and knowing that we might need, thinking that we might need a safety, would we be willing to trade this player for that player.”
“I think this is going to pay for us. We’re not in any hurry.”
One of the reasons that the Cowboys haven't been in a rush to improve the depth is because the team feels that since they improved the defensive line, that should help the back end of the defense and they won't need a star to beef up the back end.
Undrafted free agent Jeff Heath, sixth-round selections Xavier Woods and Kavon Frazier, and George Iloka who didn't see the field much last year with the Vikings and signed in free agency for only $1 million are all on the roster.
The Cowboys might be right that they don't need a star, but they can't feel super confident going into offseason workouts that these guys can hold down the secondary. Maybe the right trade offer will come along and the team will pull the trigger.
