On April 2nd, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is on a mission to rebuild their defense after a ranked dead last in the league, surrendering nearly 30.1 points per game. He's admitting they busted the budget, but insists there's more work ahead, with key additions like trading for edge-rusher Rashan Gary from Green, Bay and Signing Safety. Jalen Thompson to a three-year contract worth up to $36 million. They've stacked the secondary and line deep or two, bringing in cornerback Kobe Durant, Safety PJ Locke and defensive tackle, Otito Obania. First-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker stepped in back in January to shake up a unit that had rock bottom in team history. Jones made it clear he's fed up, trading interior guys, Osa Odi Hizua to San Francisco and Solomon Thomas to Tennessee for draft picks, wiping the slate clean on that front. The front office keeps pushing changes to spark a turnaround. Linebackers remain the sore spot, though Jones stays bullish, chasing trays that haven't

panned out yet, while banking on the draft to plug those. Holes. He's all in on upgrading personnel there before training camps heat up. Now the real test hits this fall. Can these moves propel Dallas back into the playoff hunt? That wraps NFL News today. Brought to you with AI, I'm Corey with the story.
