The Cowboys are loading up for what they hope is a Super Bowl run in 2020. Making one of these four trades would give Dallas a big boost.

The upcoming season is shaping up to be a Super Bowl or bust campaign for the Cowboys. That makes this the perfect time for the organization to examine some win now trades before training camp arrives.

The team doesn’t have a ton of holes to fill, but the roster could use strenghtening in a few key areas. The odds are heavily stacked against the Cowboys doing anything major in free agency at this point in the offseason. That makes swinging a trade the best avenue for team improvement available to Jerry Jones and his front office.

Making any of the following four deals would give Dallas a major boost heading into 2020.

4 dream trades for the Dallas Cowboys

Dealing for Jamal Adams

The Jets freely admit that they’ve discussed dealing their star safety, but insist none of those conversations have involvd the Cowboys. Adams, a Dallas area native, would love to come home and solidify the back end of the Cowboys’ secondary.

The team did improve their options at safety slightly by bringing in Haha Clinton-Dix this offseason, but he will struggle to hold up in the final third in pass coverage. Adams’ ability to play near the line of scrimmage and cover receivers running patterns deep down the field would do wonders to improve the Cowboys’ defensive flexibility.

The problem the Cowboys have is that the Jets clearly don’t want to give him his dream move to Dallas. That means the team would likely need to overpay to bring him in. Giving up a second round pick might be a risk worth taking for a defense that needs help in the secondary. It’s not the most valuable position in the NFL, but it could make the difference between an early playoff exit and a Super Bowl run for the Cowboys.
