It's time for the Dallas Cowboys to look into getting rid of one of their most important offensive players, Jake Ferguson, at the trade deadline.
The Arizona Cardinals are demanding a high price—likely a Day‑2 draft pick—to trade pass rusher Josh Sweat, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Despite interest from the Cowboys, Packers and 49ers, Arizona rebuffed summer offers and has signaled it may keep the 29‑year‑old, who posted three sacks and four tackles for loss in eight games this season after signing a four‑year, $76.4 million deal with $41 million guaranteed. Sweat helped the 3‑5 Cardinals beat Dallas 33‑30 in overtime, recording a sack in Week 1.
Plano voters narrowly defeat a 53.9%–46.1% ballot measure that would have added rental‑car, hotel, parking and ticket surcharges to raise $700 million for a $1 billion Dallas Stars arena. Despite a $1 million spending advantage for opponents and Texas’s history of approving sports subsidies, residents balked at the public cost and traffic concerns. The city council meanwhile moved ahead with a 900‑acre tax‑increment reinvestment zone that would divert $250 million in property taxes for 41 years. Stars CEO Brad Alberts says the arena could still proceed via state‑level financing, but the path remains uncertain.

Dallas Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont has bought Miriam Adelson’s share, increasing his ownership to 69% after the deal closed last month. The transaction keeps existing minority owners Mark Cuban (27%) and Mary Stanton (4%) in place, and Dumont retains the option to acquire up to 20% of Cuban’s stake, potentially boosting his control to 89% of a franchise now valued at $5.8 billion by Forbes. Since taking over in 2023, Dumout has overhauled the front office—hiring CEO Rick Welts, President Ethan Casson, GM Masai Ujiri, and coach Dusty May—and is developing a new basketball‑only entertainment complex at the former Valley View Mall. The move underscores his long‑term commitment as the team builds around young star Cooper Flagg.

Emmanuel Acho blasts Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for “organizational malpractice” after Jones dismissed coach salaries as irrelevant. Acho argues that NFL’s highest‑paid head coaches—Andy Reid, John Harbaugh, Sean Payton, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan—correlate with Super Bowl success, while Dallas’ $5‑8 million‑salary coach Brian Schottenheimer sits near the bottom of league pay. With the Cowboys at 3‑5 and a 10‑14‑1 record under Schottenheimer, Acho challenges Jones’ claim that coach pay doesn’t impact winning, highlighting the franchise’s spending on facilities versus coaching.

The interviews come as the team’s new GM, Randy Flores, prepares to make a hiring decision by week’s end.

After a 30-16 loss to Denver, the Arizona Cardinals shake up their quarterback room by naming backup Gardner Minshew the starter following his clutch performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Minshew entered the game trailing 17-3, threw 17-of-23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns, and led Arizona to a 33-30 overtime win.

The Dallas Cowboys fall to the Arizona Cardinals 33-30, snapping a 14‑point fourth‑quarter lead and dropping to 3‑5.

The Dallas Mavericks (4-3) aim to rebound from a 115-100 loss to the Sacramento Kings as they head to San Antonio to face a surging Spurs team (5-2). Victor Wembanyama, who recently posted 36 and 43 points, will be the primary obstacle, having scored 23 points in the first matchup where Dallas fell 122-106 without Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving.

The author argues that the Cowboys’ talent is wasted under coaching that engineers its own defeats.
