Cowboys unlikely to trade for Jamal Adams until Dak Prescott signs deal
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network believes that the Dallas Cowboys will not trade for New York Jets safety Jamal Adams until the team gets quarterback Dak Prescott under contract.
The Cowboys were in a notably precarious position entering this offseason (and even last season) when it came to handing out contracts, and with Prescott still unsigned, it makes sense that the team's reported interest in Adams from last year's trade deadline has subsisted somewhat. Adams and the Jets have had one of the most tumultuous contract negotiations of the offseason, and it appears this will continue for some time.
If the Cowboys can get Prescott under contract quickly, it would make sense for the team to trade for Adams, who has posted elite PFF grades of 87.9 and 89.8 in each of his previous two seasons. In addition to providing top-notch coverage in his time with the Jets (he allowed just 4.9 yards per target when targeted in 2019), Adams also offers upside as both a pass-rusher (6.5 sacks in 2019) and as a run-stuffer (10 tackles for a loss).
