The Dallas Cowboys possess a talented roster, but this hasn’t translated into as many victories as the team had hoped for this season.
With a current record of 3-4, Dallas sits in third place in the NFC East. The upcoming schedule is challenging, featuring games against the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, and Houston Texans, but there remains optimism in Dallas.
Given their talent, the Cowboys might explore the trade deadline for additional support. The deadline is on Nov. 5, and many players could be available. According to Bleacher Report’s Scott Polacek, the Cowboys are the “best fit” to acquire New York Jets receiver Mike Williams.
“Best Fit: Dallas Cowboys,” Polacek stated. “The writing seemed to be on the wall for Williams’ time with the New York Jets as soon as the AFC East team traded for (Davante Adams). After all, the combination of Adams, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Breece Hall, and Braelon Allen is a lot of playmakers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to keep happy without even worrying about Williams’ role in the offense…”
“Something has to change for a Dallas team that is just 3-4 and coming off two straight losses.” One of these defeats was a significant 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions, marking the Cowboys’ second blowout loss of the year after a 44-19 setback against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.
CeeDee Lamb is expected to attract much of the defensive focus, potentially creating opportunities for another receiver to capitalize on one-on-one matchups downfield. Williams has demonstrated his ability as a deep threat before and might regain that form with a fresh environment.
Dallas could benefit from a boost, and Williams may be an economical option to achieve that. Why not?

Dak Prescott identifies a Cowboys issue and points the finger at Jerry Jones and the fans
Dak Prescott has faced significant criticism during the Cowboys’ home games, where they have not won in Arlington for three outings, conceding over 40 points in each loss.
Recently, he got engaged to Sarah Jane Ramos, which led to more scrutiny, prompting him to respond to fans visiting the team’s training facility.
Dak Prescott opposes fan tours at The Star
Several Cowboys players, including Prescott, have voiced their objections to fan tours at The Star, Dallas’ training facility. While Prescott doesn’t mind fans being present, he believes it disrupts the team’s focus. “On the one hand, this is all I know. I’m not going to let a couple of people walking around the building distract me. I’m present where I am,” he stated Thursday, as reported by Jon Machota of The Athletic.
He added, “I think, honestly, it’s an excuse. What’s the difference in [the media] coming into the locker room and talking? Guys complain about that, too, and I don’t understand it. It’s about being professional; some things you have to deal with.”
Acknowledging that the Cowboys have more tours than other teams, Prescott emphasized the need for acceptance. “You can either go through and have a negative mindset about it and let it ruin your day, or you can be grateful to be in an organization that people want to see.”
The role of fans for the Cowboys
Prescott drew a parallel between fan tours and playing before a sellout crowd at AT&T Stadium, especially given that many fans have turned against him this season. “If that’s the case, then the crowd is a distraction when you’re on the field,” he remarked.
He continued, “It’s the NFL. It’s a business that has exactly those reasons why this game is entertaining; that people want to watch it; that you have the fans that you have and you can build the relationships. If you get distracted by that, then you get distracted by the fans in whatever stadium you walk into.”
