Jerry Jones Rules Out More Cowboys Coaching Changes, Open to Trades
Jerry Jones does not expect more Cowboys coaching changes this season, but he is open to adding players.
The Dallas team is 2-4 after back-to-back losses, and Jones says it has not played as well as it can.
The Cowboys brought in defensive assistant Mike Pettine earlier this month, while their defense ranks 30th among 32 NFL teams.
Jones could make a trade to help this season, though he says he would not sell players unless he received an offer he could not refuse.
The NFC East has no clear runaway leader, and Jones sees a chance for Dallas to improve its playoff prospects.
The Cowboys have games against the Eagles, Cardinals and Colts before the November 10 trade deadline, and those results could shape the team's plans.
