The Dallas Cowboys have had a relatively quiet offseason. However, they could still make a blockbuster move before the season starts. A recent free agent visit could hint at an upcoming trade.
Jerry Jones recently noted that the Cowboys are looking into two substantive trades. While he did not tell exactly what players they are looking into, he did note that they could happen before or even after the draft. The Cowboys recently brought Stephon Gilmore in for a visit, and FanSided's Cody Williams noted that they could potentially trade Trevon Diggs away.
"Perhaps the more interesting part of that conversation, though, is that the Cowboys also had veteran free agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who played in Dallas just a couple of years ago, in for a visit," wrote Williams. "While NFL insider Josina Anderson reported that no deal was imminent between the 'Boys and Gilmore, they're at least looking at the possibility. And all of that could put Diggs on his way out of Dallas when you start to put the pieces together."
Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million deal in 2023. He is a former All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler. However, he has dealt with injuries over the last two seasons.
"Trevon Diggs hasn't been talked about too much in the Dallas Cowboys offseason, but perhaps he should've been," wrote Williams. "The big-name cornerback has been limited due to injuries over the past two seasons and, even with healthy, he hasn't quite looked like the NFL's interception king that we saw early in his career when he picked off 11 passes in 2021. Furthermore, he's more than a $12 million cap hit for Jerry Jones' ledger for the 2025 season. The big question is if that's viable for the Cowboys to keep around, especially with holes on the roster continuing to grow in number."

While Jones was not clear on the trades the Cowboys are exploring, it is safe to assume that players would be involved since he said getting it done before the draft is not necessary. Trading Diggs would surely fall in the "substantive" category.
