Cowboys Eyeing Moore Trade for Defense

About this episode

The Dallas Cowboys bolstered their defense in the 2026 NFL draft, selecting safety Caleb Downs, edge rusher Malachi Lawrence, and linebacker Jaishawn Barham in their first three picks, and trading for linebacker Dee Winters. Despite these moves, theres speculation they should still pursue a trade for top slot cornerback Kenny Moore II from the Indianapolis Colts. The Cowboys defense struggled in 2025, and new coordinator Christian Parker has more pieces now, but depth at linebacker and cornerback remains a concern. While they signed Cobie Durant and drafted Devin Moore, they still lack a proven starter for the nickel spot. Moore, a nine-year vet, has kept quarterbacks under an 88 passer rating the last two seasons, and the Cowboys could acquire him for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

On May 2nd, the Dallas Cowboys loaded up their defense in the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing safety Caleb Downes, edge rusher Malachai Lawrence. And linebacker Jai Sean Baram in their first three picks, plus trading for linebacker D-Winters from the San Francisco 49ers. But even with those moves, folks are saying they should still push hard for a trade to land Premier, slot cornerback Kenny Moore, the second from the Indianapolis Colts. Their defense was rough last year in 2025, and new coordinator Christian Parker has more pieces now, but depth and linebacker end, especially cornerback remains a worry. They signed Kobe Durant in free agency and drafted Devin Moore in round four, but no true starter for the nickel spot. Shifting guys like Deyron Bland or Caleb Downes inside could hurt their outside coverage, and after all those injuries last season, building that. Secondary depth is key. Players got faith in Shavon Rebel, but fans and analysts want more proven talent right

now. Word is more, and the Colts mutually agreed to part ways, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, and grabbing him be a trade might just cost a 2027. Sixth round pick, according to Bleacher reports Christopher Knox. That's cheap for a nine-year vet who's kept quarterbacks under an ADA passer rating the last two seasons. Dallas could jump in quick to dodge a bidding war, and lock down that slot. Shifting Parker the flexibility to really turn this defense around heading into camp.
