Jerry Jones indicated that the Dallas Cowboys could continue looking for ways to improve their roster after signing Von Miller to a one-year contract.
The veteran edge rusher gives Dallas another option in the pass rush, but Jones left open the possibility of further additions.
What Jerry Jones Confirmed
According to Todd Archer of ESPN, Jones said the Cowboys would make a “substantive” move, including using future draft capital, if they identified a player who could help the roster.
His comments described an approach that remains open to upgrades at any position, not just free-agent depth pieces.
The stance follows the Miller signing and is consistent with Jones’ earlier offseason references to trade discussions with other NFL teams.
Dallas has already added an accomplished veteran edge rusher, but Jones’ remarks suggest the club is still willing to consider opportunities that emerge, including trading away part of its future for the right player.
Where Dallas Could Still Upgrade
Maxx Crosby was previously linked to Dallas, though Miller’s arrival gives the Cowboys another pass-rush option.
The primary question now is whether the team will pursue a different type of addition or continue adding depth along the front.
Wide receiver is another area to watch behind George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.
Ryan Flournoy has been viewed as a possible No. 3 option, while another receiver could provide additional depth.
On defense, cornerback, safety, off-ball linebacker and more pass-rush help are among the positions that could make sense in a trade or free agency.
The unit has been described as looking better than it did in recent years, with Christian Parker calling plays, but Jones’ comments underscore that there is still room for improvement.
Adoree’ Jackson Reported as a Possibility
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Dallas has explored cornerback help in free agency, naming veteran Adoree’ Jackson as a name to watch.
Jackson started 10 games for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, recording 55 tackles, 11 pass breakups and an interception, and he worked with current Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker while Parker was Philadelphia’s defensive backs coach.
Jackson also visited Dallas for a free-agent workout back in May, though no deal came from it at the time.
That report aligns with the broader possibility of a defensive addition, particularly at cornerback.
Jones did not identify a specific target in the comments reported by ESPN, but he said the Cowboys would pursue help wherever they found it.
Super Bowl Odds
The odds published alongside the report placed Dallas behind the market’s leading teams.
| Rank | Team | Super Bowl Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | LA Rams | +550 |
| 2 | Buffalo Bills | +1000 |
| 3 | Baltimore Ravens | +1000 |
| 16 | Dallas Cowboys | +2500 |
Why Another Move Remains Possible
Miller was a significant addition, but Jones’ comments made clear that Dallas is not treating one signing as the end of its roster work.
A move at cornerback, receiver, safety, linebacker or along the pass rush would fit the areas identified as potential needs.
Dallas’ position in the published odds also reflects a roster that could still change before the season.
Whether the next opportunity comes through free agency or a trade, Jones said the Cowboys would act if they believed an available player could help.
What Comes Next for Dallas
Jones’ comments leave the door open for another offseason addition and for the Cowboys to revisit the market later in the season.
For now, the Miller signing has strengthened the pass rush while keeping attention on the positions where Dallas could still add depth.
