Cowboys Eyeing Highsmith Trade for Pass-Rush Boost

About this episode

The Dallas Cowboys are exploring options to bolster their defense, with a focus on acquiring a top pass-rusher. They have the twelfth and twenty-second picks in the draft, which could land them talents like Arvell Reese, David Bailey, or Rueben Bain. Their new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, is implementing a three-four hybrid scheme, emphasizing the need for edge help. The Cowboys are also considering a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers Alex Highsmith, who has nine point five sacks in thirteen games despite injuries. Highsmith, underpaid for his production, could instantly become the Cowboys best pass-rusher and is potentially available due to the Steelers stacked edge. The Cowboys could use their third-round pick from the 49ers trade for Osa Odighizuwa to sweeten the deal, allowing them to maintain their top picks while significantly improving their defense.

It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Dallas Cowboys are hunting for a top pass russure to beef up their defense, and they've got options like the upcoming NFL draft or smart trade. With picks at number 12 and number 20, they're in prime position to grab talents like Arvel Reese, David Bailey, or Ruben Bain, who could slide right into that range. Their new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, is shifting to a 3-4 hybrid scheme after last year's league worst unit, so expect a big push. For Edge help this week, meanwhile, Chatter's heating up about a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers, Alex Heismith, who's got 9.5 sacks in just 13 games last season despite injuries. The Steelers look stacked on the edge with TJ Watt and the explosive Nick Herbig, making Heismith potentially available. At 29 years old, Heismith excels against the run too, and he'd instantly become the Cowboys' best pass russure. His 68

million dollar deal has no guaranteed money left, with base salaries of 14 million and 15 million. He's underpay for his production. That third round pick from the 49est trade for Osa Odidi Zua could sweeten the deal, letting Dallas stay pure with their top picks while. Raising their defensive ceiling big time.
