Jerry Jones says Cowboys have 'serious' cap room to make a trade — defense would be the target

Jerry Jones says the Cowboys finished last week with real financial firepower: "really viable serious room financially to make trade if we wanted to right now," the owner said Tuesday on Dallas' 105.3 The Fan.
Todd Archer (@ToddArcher): Speaking on @1053thefan, Jerry Jones on cap room created last week: "That does show that we have really viable serious room financially to make trade if we wanted to right now." He said a potential trade would be for the defense with Broderick Jones' trade taking care of offense.
Jones, whose comments were relayed by ESPN's Todd Archer (full story), indicated the flexibility would be spent on the other side of the ball. With the offensive line addressed by the club's acquisition of offensive tackle Broderick Jones, the owner said a potential trade would come on defense.
The remarks offer a window into the front office's posture as Dallas finalizes its plans for Sunday's opener against the New York Giants, a game that will feature a reshaped offensive front following Tyler Smith's move to injured reserve.
