The Cowboys do have a propensity for making trades during the draft, with Dallas making 72 dating back to 1989 when Jones took over the team, though it’s unclear whether the potential trades that Jones has been working on would happen before, after or during the draft.

Dallas wasn't particularly active in free agency. They signed a handful of players, most notably RBs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, DE Dante Fowler Jr., and DT Solomon Thomas while trading for LB Kenneth Murray Jr. and CB Kaiir Elam, both of whom are former first-round picks.
