Cowboys Trade Thomas for Draft Capital

0:00On March 12th, the Dallas Cowboys pulled off a quiet trade ahead of this year's NFL draft, sending defensive tackle Solomon Thomas to the Tennessee Titans. In return, they swapped seventh-round picks, giving up number 225 for number 201 to move up seven spots. This smaller deal flew under the radar compared to their bigger move involving Osa, Odi Izua. For the Cowboys, it was about squeezing value from their roster tweaks before the season, losing Thomas leaves their defensive tackle spot thinner for now, which could hurt short term. Teens off to make these moves to clear space or avoid outright cuts. Experts are calling it a solid but unspectacular play, handing it a B-grade. They like that Dallas turned a likely release into draft capital. With the draft just around the corner, this tweak could help the Cowboys target a better fit later in the seventh round.
