Kenny Moore among 3 veterans Cowboys could trade for instead of drafting

If you didn’t already know, the NFL draft is dominating the football landscape right now. With just under two weeks until it gets underway, the Dallas Cowboys continue to stack up their prospects for their 30 visits . However, the draft isn’t the only way the team can improve.

There are still free agents available and if the Cowboys don’t like how the draft is shaping up, they can also trade for a veteran to fill their holes. Jerry Jones and the front office have never been shy about trading for players and this might be a year where acquiring talent might be better than drafting it. This offseason there have been rumors about Dallas trading for help on defense, but nothing has come to fruition.

The Maxx Crosby trade never worked out, and linebacker Patrick Queen was a hot name at one point, yet that didn't get done either. That doesn’t mean the Cowboys should stop trying and the draft is a perfect time to get trades done. Here are three other veteran players the Cowboys should investigate acquiring with draft picks instead of using the selection on a rookie.

Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard If the Cowboys swung a deal for Greenard, the veteran would step in and immediately be the team’s best pass rusher. He was injured last season and played only 12 games, but he had back-to-back 12+ sacks seasons in 2023-2024 while playing for two different teams, so he can quickly adapt and be successful. Greenard also totaled 43 tackles for a loss in the last three seasons combined.
