As the Dallas Cowboys look to strengthen their defense, bolstering their edge-rushing capabilities should be a top priority after the injuries to Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0find themselves in a tough situation following their win against the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

While a victory is usually a positive, losing two Pro Bowlers to injury\u2014Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence\u2014could prompt the team to hit the panic button.<\/p>\n

It may be time for the Cowboys to explore trade options for an edge rusher to bolster their defense.<\/p>\n

Here are five edge rushers the Cowboys should target.<\/p>\n

5. Kingsley Jonathan, Buffalo Bills<\/h2>\n

Kingsley Jonathan is currently on the Buffalo Bills practice squad, having shown promise during the preseason. He\u2019s the kind of athlete who will continue to improve with more reps in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Originally aspiring to play in the NBA, he shifted his focus to football and became a standout player for five years with the Syracuse Orange.<\/p>\n

4. Deatrich Wise Jr., New England Patriots<\/h2>\n

Deatrich Wise Jr. is in a contract year and is taking up roughly $7 million in cap space. Any potential trade would require the two teams to agree on the right draft capital, as the Cowboys are unlikely to absorb his full salary.<\/p>\n

Wise has spent his entire eight-year career with the Patriots, but given the team\u2019s recent struggles, it wouldn’t be surprising if he and the Patriots were open to parting ways.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins<\/h2>\n

The Dolphins are still hopeful that Tyler Huntley can turn their season around. However, if they lose to the Titans this week, they may consider shifting their focus to 2025, leading to them trading some of their players on contract years.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Ogbah has a cap hit of around $3 million and has been an impact player throughout his nine-year career, accumulating a total of 43 sacks.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Azeez Ojulari, New York Giants<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/picture><\/figure>\n

Azeez Ojulari is set to be a free agent in 2025, and with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux taking the majority of snaps on the edge, the Giants could be looking to move him. The former Georgia standout had a strong rookie campaign with 8.5 sacks, but his production has dipped in subsequent seasons.<\/p>\n

Ojulari would be the type of player who could impact the Cowboys right now, and he comes as a cheap option given his injury history and the fact that he is still on his rookie contract.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

1. Jadeveon Clowney, Carolina Panthers<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

It seems that Jadeveon Clowney signed with the Carolina Panthers primarily for the money. With the Panthers’ painful start to the season, they may be open to trading some of their veterans with trade value.<\/p>\n

Given Clowney’s current contract, the Cowboys are likely to consider a trade only if the Panthers are willing to absorb some of his salary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
