Cowboys' Strategic Moves: Unpacking Trade Deadline Decisions

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones opted to buy rather than sell at the NFL trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. Despite a 3-5 record and quarterback Dak Prescott's injury, Jones was inspired by a conversation with Hall of Famer Roger Staubach, recalling the Cowboys' 1971 comeback season. Jones' decision reflects his belief in the team's potential and his close relationship with players like Micah Parsons, who appreciates Jones' personal involvement and support.
