The Dallas Cowboys already have one of the most feared pass rushers in the league with Micah Parsons. However, adding another Pro Bowl pass-rushing talent to the defense could be the perfect ingredient to the motto of defense wins championships.
It has been reported that teams are inquiring about a trade with New England Patriots star Matthew Judon.
A trade the Cowboys absolutely could pull off.

Those around the Cowboys organization and the fanbase are already trying to make dreams a reality. Judon is looking for a new deal, and it seems that wherever he goes, the Patriots edge rusher will be looking and will be wanting the stability of a new contract. As you know, contract negotiations haven't been the Cowboys' forte this off-season, and throwing another wrench into the fire would possibly have the front office in meltdown mode.

However, if the Cowboys are all-in this season, maybe it is worth bringing Judon for a one-off chance at postseason success. But bringing him is also a massive risk. Judon missed most of last season after tearing his bicep. In his last full season in 2022, Judon finished with 12.5 sacks and earned All-Pro honors. The Cowboys' defense has the potential to become legendary with a healthy Judon.
