The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly exploring potential trades to bolster their defense and passing attack, with the team linked to cornerback Kenny Moore II of the Indianapolis Colts and wide receiver George Pickens of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Why it matters

The details

According to multiple reports, the Cowboys have engaged in trade discussions with the Colts and Steelers about acquiring Moore and Pickens, respectively. Moore, a two-time Pro Bowler, would provide an immediate upgrade to Dallas' secondary, while the talented Pickens would give quarterback Dak Prescott another dynamic receiving threat.
