After a shocking loss to the Arizona Cardinals, should the Dallas Cowboys look to bolster their defense in a big trade?
Week 3 was known for its upsets, and one of the most notable ones was the Cowboys losing to the Cardinals. Coming into the season, the Cardinals were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL, but they might be more scrappy than previously expected.
Even if the Cardinals are better than expected, it was still a brutal loss for the Cowboys, who were a double-digit favorite on the road. In the loss, the Cowboys allowed 28 points in their first game without Trevon Diggs at cornerback. Diggs is out for the season with a torn ACL, and that is a big blow to the defense. Diggs is a true playmaker at corner and his loss will be hard to replace.
Recently, it was talked about that the Cowboys could make a big move for Denver Broncos star cornerback Patrick Surtain II. If this were to happen, he is a hypothetical trade proposal that might make sense for both teams.
Our Trade Idea:
Cowboys Receive: Patrick Surtain II
Broncos Receive: 2024 First-Round Pick, 2024 Third-Round Pick
Despite bringing in Sean Payton as the head coach, the Broncos still look like a mess. Nathanial Hackett took a lot of the blame for the struggles of the team last season, but now it might become apparent that the team just isn’t good. Through three weeks, the Broncos are 0-3, and they might look to make some changes.
While it’s hard to believe that Payton came back to rebuild the Broncos, he might not have a choice if the team continues to struggle this season.
For the Cowboys, going after a cornerback like Surtain would be an interesting proposition, as he he young and very talented. As a team with Super Bowl aspirations, Surtain would be a great option to replace Diggs in the secondary.
