The Cowboys are still shopping.
That was the message from Stephen Jones on Friday’s episode of “105.3 The Fan,” where he made it clear Dallas isn’t treating its offseason work as finished now that training camp is underway. The front office has already spent the offseason trying to keep the offense humming while giving the defense a much-needed boost, but Jones said there are still possible additions on the table.
“We're always looking. We've got several things that we're considering right now, some of it trades, some of it signing guys, because a lot of these older players who still have treads on the tires can come in and help you,” Jones said.
“It may come in the form of a trade, it may come in the form of a veteran signing as you move into camp. Because a lot of these veteran players, a lot of times, don't like to go to the first part of training camp.”
What Dallas is targeting remains unclear. Jones didn’t point to a specific position or player, only that the team is weighing both the trade market and free agency as it looks for more ways to improve the roster.
There is at least one clue about the kind of move the Cowboys might be open to making. Jerry Jones recently praised the Los Angeles Rams for trading for Myles Garrett, which suggests Dallas could be thinking about a similar splash before the 2026-27 campaign begins.
For now, though, the focus stays on camp. The Cowboys believe their offense should be among the league’s most efficient next season, and they’ve also added a lot of talent on defense in hopes of raising that unit’s level.

Cowboys Fans Turned Tony Romo Fallout Into A Jerry Jones Moment
Tony Romos off-field trouble quickly spilled into a familiar Dallas stage, and not just because of his long history with the Cowboys. After Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated and cited three times in connection with the incident, fans at a Cowboys training camp event turned the moment into a loud show of support for the former quarterback, whose name still carries real weight in North Texas.
The reaction also put Jerry Jones back in the middle of the conversation in a way Cowboys followers know well, even if the football ties are now years in the rearview. Romos status with CBS Sports remains unsettled after the network put him on leave, and the legal side of the story is still moving forward as the case heads toward court later this month.

Dak Prescott Just Weighed In On Dallas Biggest O-Line Debate
Brian Schottenheimers early training camp plan has already stirred up one of the Cowboys most familiar debates, with Tyler Smith set to get work at left tackle even though both Smith and the team have made it clear they prefer him at left guard. Dak Prescott is reading the situation the same way, expecting Smith to stay put inside while Tyler Guyton gets the longer look at the spot protecting the quarterbacks blind side.
For now, Dallas is treating left tackle as a true camp competition and plans to rotate bodies there before making any firm judgments. The real evaluation still hasnt started, though, because the pads have not come on yet, and until that happens the Cowboys are mostly collecting looks rather than drawing conclusions. [Read more 🡒]
Two Cowboys Are Already Feeling Serious Pressure Early In Camp
Training camp has already started sorting out the Cowboys depth chart, and two spots are drawing early attention. At running back, Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah and Malik Davis are all trying to establish themselves behind Javonte Williams, with the team clearly looking at more than just one backup option as it gauges what kind of early-season role each player can handle.
The same kind of pressure is building on defense, where Shemar James is suddenly in a crowded linebacker room with Jaishawn Barham, Dee Winters, Curtis Robinson and Justin Barron all in the mix. There is still time for roles to settle and for the roster to change again, but the early days of camp have made it clear that both players are fighting not just for snaps, but for their standing on the team.
