Cowboys roster shake-up – Jerry Jones eyes bold moves amid Jalen Ramsey trade buzz

The Dallas Cowboys are once again in the offseason spotlight, with owner Jerry Jones reportedly considering a bold roster move that could free up $8.65 million in cap space, likely at the expense of veteran safety Donovan Wilson.
This strategic decision comes in the wake of a disappointing 2024 season and may signal bigger plans, including a potential trade for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Young safeties extended as Cowboys clear path for major defensive addition
With the Cowboys' secondary hit hard by injuries last season, adding a shutdown corner like Jalen Ramsey could be transformative. The Miami Dolphins are rumored to be open to moving the high-priced star due to internal tensions and his hefty $21 million salary cap hit.
While acquiring Ramsey would be a splash, it would require financial flexibility, hence the need for cap-clearing moves.
As noted by podcaster Dan Rogers on X, 'The team can save $8.65 million in cap space by releasing Donovan Wilson after June 1st.' That move would align with the Cowboys' recent extensions for young safeties Markquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas, and Israel Mukuamu, indicating a shift toward a younger, cost-effective secondary.
If healthy, Trevon Diggs and Jalen Ramsey could become one of the most dominant cornerback duos in the NFL. However, the Cowboys must also manage a looming extension for Micah Parsons, whose agent David Mulugheta also represents Ramsey. Past tensions between Mulugheta and Jones could complicate negotiations.
Still, the upside is massive. Pairing Ramsey's elite coverage skills with Parsons' pass rush and a rejuvenated front seven could elevate Dallas' defense to championship level.
As trade rumors intensify, fans are eager to see if Jerry Jones is ready to go all-in before the window closes.

With salary cap gymnastics, veteran cuts, and possible blockbuster trades, the Cowboys' 2025 offseason is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic in recent franchise history. One thing's clear, Jerry Jones isn't done and the NFL world is watching. The front office is under pressure to deliver results after falling short in 2024. Fans are demanding bold moves to reignite Super Bowl hopes. All eyes are now on Dallas as the next big move could drop any moment.

A glance back at the all-time great quarterback Aaron Rodgers' 5 most iconic NFL memories
Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers has signed on for a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, his 21st season in the league, and rekindled new optimism for the AFC North team. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With his next chapter ahead, Rodgers' legacy, seasoned with MVPs, miracle completions, and Super Bowl victories, is a compelling story of longevity, toughness, and genius in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers brings MVP lineage and moments that will be remembered forever to the Pittsburgh Steelers Aaron Rodgers' draft night drop that framed a career Many years prior to his NFL fame, Aaron Rodgers experienced the precipitous drop in the 2005 NFL Draft. He was bypassed multiple times before being selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 24th overall pick. For three years, Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre, becoming the starter in 2008 and firmly establishing his value with 4,038 passing yards—the first of ten seasons of 4,000+ yards. Super Bowl MVP and becoming great Aaron Rodgers' greatest victory occurred during the 2010 season as he guided the Packers to a 31–25 Super Bowl XLV victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Super Bowl MVP award. He threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns on football's largest platform, solidifying himself as an elite signal-caller. 2024 Highlights: Aaron Rodger's Best Plays From His 28 TDs and 3,897 Passing Yards Season Controversies and comebacks Rodgers' career, too, has not been free of controversy, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he found himself criticized for his misinformed remarks on being vaccinated. However, even under the glare of media criticism, he continued to play at an MVP level, demonstrating incredible mental resilience. From New York heartbreak to Steel City redemption Rodgers signed with the New York Jets in 2023, expecting big things, but an Achilles tear on just his fourth play in his first game ruined that campaign. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now New chapter: Aaron Rodgers goes to Pittsburgh Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on June 5, 2025, subject to a physical. He will likely begin Week 1 against his old team, the New York Jets, and play quarterback Justin Fields, who had previously sported the black and gold. Also read: This is not only a continuation of Rodgers' career but also an attempt at rewriting his last chapter on the gridiron. Whether this is to be a tale of redemption or an end-of-the-road tour, one thing is for sure—Rodgers' journey is one of the most intriguing in NFL history.

'It's such a meritocracy': Tom Brady throws shade at NFL draft system while defending Shedeur Sanders
Tom Brady speaks on Shedeur Sanders' situation with the Browns (Getty Images) NFL icon Tom Brady offered advice and encouragement to Shedeur Sanders after his fifth-round NFL Draft selection by the Cleveland Browns, drawing parallels to his own overlooked draft position. Brady emphasized that meritocracy in the NFL allows any player to succeed regardless of draft spot. Tom Brady sends powerful message to Shedeur Sanders Following his selection by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the NFL Draft at pick number 144, Shedeur Sanders received significant encouragement from legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Sanders' draft position, while not a complete surprise, echoes the journey of many highly successful athletes who were not initially top picks. Tom Brady himself, a seven-time Super Bowl champion and three-time NFL MVP, was chosen much later in the 2000 Draft, as the 199th overall selection in the sixth round by the New England Patriots. Shedeur Sanders (Image via AP) Drawing upon his personal path, Brady addressed the drafting of "Coach Prime"'s son in a video shared by @bleacherreport, offering him valuable guidance. Brady stated, "Regardless of where you're picked, everyone's got the opportunity to be their best and show up, and I think the great thing about the NFL is it's such a meritocracy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fungo nas unhas: veja o novo método que elimina rapidamente Acabe com o Fungo Undo If you play well, you're going to get the opportunities to get a chance to go out there on the field and play and perform well". Brady further expressed his confidence in Shedeur's future with the Cleveland Browns, affirming, "I know he'll be ready for that moment whenever it happens. I'm very excited to watch him get out there. I've known him a long time and am proud of the young man that he is. I know he'll take advantage of whatever opportunities come his way." The Cleveland Browns face a complex quarterback dilemma under head coach Kevin Stefanski. With five players vying for the starting spot and no clear frontrunner, Stefanski's decision is paramount. The competition is especially critical given last season's challenges, where star signal-caller Deshaun Watson suffered an Achilles tendon injury, sidelining him for a considerable part of the year. This situation sets the stage for a compelling battle for QB1. In week two of organized team activities, Joe Flacco, 40 years old , is making a strong push to be the starting quarterback. Kenny Pickett, 26, also aims to solidify his position as the team's long-term signal-caller. Also Read: Tom Brady panicked over Gisele Bündchen's reaction over ubderaged son's wild night with Snoop Dogg New additions Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have joined the quarterback competition. All are dedicated to earning the confidence of Coach Stefanski and the fanbase, striving to boost team performance and achieve success.
