As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026-27 NFL season, they are exploring options to enhance their defensive lineup, particularly through the acquisition of a veteran edge rusher. According to Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, the Cowboys should consider trading for Josh Sweat, a former Philadelphia Eagles standout. Sweat, who had an impressive seven-year tenure with the Eagles, recorded 43 sacks and 267 tackles during his time there, earning a Pro Bowl selection in the 2021-22 season and winning a Super Bowl in 2024-25. Last season with the Arizona Cardinals, he achieved career highs with 30 tackles, 12 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles. Knox emphasizes that while Sweat is not officially on the trade block, his absence from the start of OTAs and reported unhappiness in Arizona could make him a viable target for the Cowboys. The team has already revamped its edge rotation by trading for Rashan Gary and drafting Malachi Lawrence and Jaishawn Barham. Adding Sweat could solidify their defensive efforts and ensure they do not waste their high-powered offense on lackluster defensive play.
