NFL Overreactions Week 9
USAT’s Prince Grimes breaks down the biggest storylines from NFL Week 9.
Sports Seriously
The NFL trade deadline is almost here and for once the Dallas Cowboys are linked to perhaps moving on from a former first-round pick on the defensive side of the ball.
Of course, wider speculation is that they will make a deal for a pass rusher, and the familiar names keep popping up.
This all comes as the backdrop for Dallas’ Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals, who are still without quarterback Kyler Murray. Here’s the news.
The trade deadline is Tuesday at 2 p.m. MT/3 p.m. CT, and now rumors are circulating that Dallas could be a seller instead of a buyer.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Cowboys are shopping former first-round pick Mazi Smith. The 24-year-old defensive tackle was taken in the first round of the 2023 draft and, to this point, is a bust.
Speculation is that the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills could make a move to get Smith, who might bring a second-day draft pick.
Rapaport also said Dallas could make a move for Tennessee Titans linebacker Arden Key, linebacker Jaelan Phillips and defensive end Bradley Chubb of the Miami Dolphins, and Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Malcolm Koonce.
Dallas still has one more day to put something together.

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show
Dallas has still not announced who will play the Thanksgiving halftime show and it is now several weeks past when the announcement was made last year. While Taylor Swift’s fiancé will be playing against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, there is no speculation that she will have anything to do with the halftime show.
Here is what Google AI says: “The performer for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show has not been officially announced yet, but based on current trends and industry predictions, popular artists like Morgan Wallen, Justin Timberlake, or Post Malone are considered likely candidates. These predictions are based on factors such as the artists’ current popularity, tour schedules, and historical patterns of performers who have a strong presence in country or pop music.”
Dallas Cowboys score
The protected score based on the line (Dallas -2 1/2) and the over-under (53 1/2), Dallas is expected to win 28-25 or 28-26.
