Any Cowboys trade is likely closer to roster cuts, but the focus is on players with potential value to help the Cowboys acquire more 2027 NFL Draft capital. Low-value candidates like Luke Schoonmaker, Marist Liufau, Caelen Carson, T.J. Bass, and Nathan Thomas are evaluated for their contract details and realistic trade value. Markquese Bell is also discussed as a trade candidate, considering his defensive and special teams impact, despite his recent arrest. High-profile players like George Pickens and DaRon Bland are deemed unlikely trade candidates due to their expensive contracts and injury concerns.

Bass (OG) Nathan Thomas (OT) Markquese Bell (SAF) George Pickens (WR) DaRon Bland (CB) The Dallas Cowboys are light on 2027 NFL Draft picks, holding only a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and two 6ths, totaling just five selections. This limited draft capital makes acquiring more picks a priority, and trading existing players is a viable strategy. Tom Downey suggests that while any trade is more likely to occur closer to roster cuts, identifying players with potential trade value now can help the Cowboys plan for future draft success. The goal is to maximize returns for players who might not be long-term fits or who are on the roster bubble, thereby strengthening the team's future draft position.

Cowboys trade candidates like Luke Schoonmaker, Marist Liufau, Caelen Carson, TJ Bass and Nathan Thomas present varying levels of trade appeal for the Cowboys. Luke Schoonmaker, despite being a bust, might have late Day 3 value as a former 2nd rounder, with a 2026 cap hit of $1.99 MM and $1.60 MM in savings. Marist Liufau, with a 2026 cap hit of $1.55 MM and $1.31 MM in savings, could net a late pick due to his draft pedigree and special teams value. Caelen Carson, facing a rebuilt CB room, has a 2026 cap hit of $1.14 MM and $1.08 MM in savings, potentially offering late-round value. T.J. Bass, on a $5.77 MM RFA tender, might have the best trade value but the Cowboys are thin at IOL. Nathan Thomas, with a 2026 cap hit of $1.03 MM and $1.01 MM in savings, could also fetch a Day 3 pick swap.
