With training camp and preseason on the horizon, time is running out for the Dallas Cowboys to fill out their depth chart, both starters and backups, for the upcoming 2025 season. For the most part they probably already have a pretty good idea who will make the final 53-man roster, however, player acquisition is a nonstop, 365-day process.

It won’t be long now until roster cuts are made, meaning there’ll be a lot of movement around the league attempting to fill holes and make upgrades by each and every NFL team. While attempting to claim players off the waiver wire is one way to go after roster cuts, exploring the trade market is another.

The Cowboys haven’t been shy about acquiring talent via trade this offseason and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if they go that route once again after roster cuts. Instead of being just buyers though, they could actually be sellers. Today, we’re going to share with you a few players we think they could consider putting on the trade block.

DE Sam Williams

Despite missing all of 2024 with a season-ending knee injury, Sam Williams is a young, promising pass rusher with starting potential. He averaged four QB sacks in his first two years and given the premier position he plays there are likely several teams around the league who could be interested in trying to acquire him via trade. In Dallas, he’s probably nothing more than a depth piece who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

G Saahdiq Charles

Dallas has an abundance of interior OL depth, but Saahdiq Charles is one of the few veterans with starting experience. For a team looking for a versatile veteran lineman with plug-and-play potential at either guard or tackle, Charles is an intriguing option that could possibly be had via trade. He could be invaluable depth piece/insurance if Tyler Booker struggles for the Cowboys or a valuable trade asset depending on how they view him.

TE Luke Schoonmaker

Luke Schoonmaker could be in the process of getting passed on the depth chart by Brevyn Spann-Ford, which could make him an intriguing trade target for someone else around the league considering his draft pedigree and the fact he has two years remaining on his rookie contract. While he is shown in flashes of starting potential in a limited role, it may not be enough for him to stick around in Dallas if the new coaching staff isn’t in his corner.
