The Dallas Cowboys have had quite the offseason—one filled with drama, contract extensions, and notable player departures. The biggest storyline was the situation involving Micah Parsons, which ultimately led to the Cowboys trading him to the Green Bay Packers. Parsons submitted a trade request in early August following a dispute with team owner Jerry Jones.
“Still I stayed quiet but again after repeated shots at myself and all the narratives I have made a tough decision I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally,” Parsons posted.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys have focused on retaining players who want to remain in the locker room. Tight end Jake Ferguson signed a new deal during the offseason, and cornerback DaRon Bland did as well—an expected move after his breakout year.
“He had nine interceptions in an All-Pro season of 2023 and returned a record five for touchdowns, and now, two years later, he’s close to a second contract that will set him up for life,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote.
Still, the Cowboys need to make strategic additions if they hope to get over the playoff hump. They performed well against the Philadelphia Eagles in their season opener, but one area they could still strengthen is the running back position.
“The Jets can trade Hall for a middle-round draft pick and Tolbert, who can immediately bolster their wide receiver unit while still maintaining a robust ground attack with Allen, Davis and Fields leading the charge,” Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton wrote.

The Cowboys remain confident in their ability to compete for a playoff spot, but acquiring Breece Hall would be a major boost to their backfield. Given the current tension between Hall and the New York Jets, a trade could be mutually beneficial before he potentially walks in free agency.
