Tue Nov 05 15:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Confirms “Full-Fledged Effort” to Acquire Wide Receiver Before Trade Deadline
**FRISCO, TX** – Despite a disappointing 3-5 start to the season, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not giving up on the 2024 campaign. In fact, he has confirmed a full-fledged effort to acquire a wide receiver before the trade deadline.
“A wide receiver trade should be expected,” Jones revealed during a 105.3 The Fan interview, signaling an imminent deal.
Jones indicated that the Cowboys have been interested in this mystery pass catcher since the draft, leaving many speculating on the identity of the potential acquisition. With Brandin Cooks currently on injured reserve and star receiver CeeDee Lamb potentially sidelined for Week 10, the Cowboys are in desperate need of offensive firepower.
Several names have been circulating in trade rumors, including Kendrick Bourne (Patriots), K.J. Osborn (Vikings), Tyquan Thornton (Patriots), Adam Thielen (Vikings), Josh Palmer (Chargers), and even Mike Williams (Jets), though the Jets’ interest in keeping Williams may have shifted after Allen Lazard was placed on injured reserve.
The Cowboys are attempting to replicate the success they experienced after acquiring Amari Cooper in a 2018 trade, which ultimately propelled them to an NFC East title. However, the current team, struggling on both offense and defense, faces a more precarious situation than the 2018 squad did.
While Jones remains optimistic, some fans and analysts are questioning the wisdom of pursuing a receiver at this point in the season. They argue that the Cowboys have deeper issues that require addressing before making a major move.
The trade deadline is Tuesday, November 1st, so the Cowboys have only a few days left to finalize their plans. With the team’s playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the outcome of this trade will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
