The latest Dallas Cowboys rumors suggest the franchise will take a chance on Aaron Donald, which is sure to please defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
Dallas Cowboys rumors are heating up as the NFL trade deadline approaches on October 31, 2023.. It remains to be seen whether this will be trick or treat for Cowboys fans on Halloween This.. Owner Jerry Jones said the front office will wait for calls from other teams..
The Athletic’s Jon Machota has a list of potential players who could tempt the Cowboys into going aggressive with an “extreme” move.. One of the more intriguing names on the list is Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald.. The NFL analyst suggested Dallas should “test” whether Los Angeles would continue to give up on Donald or not while admitting this was a “highly unlikely” move.
“Los Angeles may want more than the Cowboys are willing to offer,” Machota wrote on October 25.. “That is highly unlikely.. But at least it’s worth kicking the tires.. Donald is one of the greatest defenders to ever play the game.
“The 32-year-old just earned his ninth Pro Bowl.. He has 2 1/2 sacks, eight tackles for loss and 10 QB hits in seven games this season..
The Rams probably won’t be able to get more for him as they are.. Putting Donald in the middle of the Cowboys defense will immediately make everyone better..
NFL Trade Rumors:
Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald comes with a $34 million price tag for 2024..
Donald has a reasonable salary, but his cap hit is worth it told with a contract worth $95 million over three years through the 2024 season.. The nine-time Pro Bowler has a salary of $13..5 million for 2023 and a cap hit of $26 million..
Los Angeles is nearing the end of Donald’s contract this offseason, potentially taking on a $33..5 million cap hit when releasing the star..
If the Rams want to move on from Donald, the passer still has trade value.. It makes no sense for Los Angeles to release Donald even if the team wants to start over..
Donald has a salary of $10 million with a cap hit of $34..1 million in 2024, according to Spotrac.. This makes it more difficult for the Cowboys because the team must sign players like Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott to contract extensions..
Jerry Jones will “really try” to improve the roster with the
Aaron trade..
Jones’ comments on the deadline are mixed, but this isn’t the first time the Cowboys owner has left everyone confused about a possible deal.. Ahead of the 2022 trade deadline, Jones said a move is imminent.. However, nothing was done following the acquisition of defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins..
“I really want to improve our team right now, so that gives you an idea because I think we have a team that is a contender,” Jones noted in an Oct.. 24 interview on 105..3 The Fan’s.. Shan & RJ.. ..” “So I’m going to do it now – do I do something that might help this team go away so they can help us in the future?? Probably not..”
Donald had 49 tackles, 11 clearances, 10 clearances and five clearances in 11 appearances last season.. That may be a long shot, but Donald would significantly bolster Dallas’ troubled defense Despite Jones’ cryptic comments, rumors about the Cowboys are sure to continue ahead of the trade deadline..
