Cowboys

• Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, when asked how the team lost their offensive identity as a physical running team since they returned the same coaches and players from 2025: “I don’t think we’re necessarily struggling creating it; we know what we want to be. When you’ve got the weapons, when you’ve got the talent that we have, sometimes you can get caught up in trying to air it out knowing how great we are in the pass game and wanting to take advantage of that. Not forgetting, but taking for granted what those guys do up front. Them controlling the line of scrimmage, controlling the time of possession, just running the ball and that opening up our play actions. Everybody returned, but things don’t just happen. It’s not like last year just rolls over into this year. So we’ve got to re-establish everything, find out exactly who we are and get comfortable and improve in that.” (Werder)
• Bleacher Report’s James Palmer reports the Cowboys aren’t content with the production from their edge rusher group and are eyeing a potential trade. He adds that Cardinals OLB Josh Sweat is a candidate here. 

Eagles

• Per FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano, other teams expect the Eagles to start selling off pieces given their 2-5 record, as well as the Chargers. One assistant GM said: “It doesn’t sound like either team is there yet, but they will be soon. Or at least they should be. They’re not crazy enough to sit tight, especially with so many players on expiring deals.”
• Some players who could be on the move, per Vacchiano, include G Landon Dickerson, CB Riq Woolen and TE Dallas Goedert. One scout also highlighted DT Moro Ojomo, while the assistant GM added some context: “Woolen and Goedert are short-term rentals who can give a contender a boost at those spots down the stretch. Dickerson might be more of a long-term play because he’s only 28 and has a couple of years left on his deal. I’d say the Eagles would be crazy to trade him, but it clearly looks like they’re going to rebuild their entire offensive line.”
• Bleacher Report’s James Palmer says several sources around the league have highlighted Woolen to him as a trade candidate. 
• Eagles WR Marquise Brown could be had ahead of the trade deadline next week. (Adam Schefter)
• Eagles LT Jordan Mailata on RB Saquon Barkley: “He’s a champion — that guy, man. Team-first always. Him gutting it out to get us going again, it showed. His impact and his influence that he can have on the field when he’s on the field – I love that guy. I’d do anything for him.” (Berman)

Giants

• FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano says there’s buzz that the Giants are looking to make some moves at the trade deadline, with eyes on fortifying a potential NFC East champion team by addressing defensive tackle, running back, edge rusher or offensive line.
• One exec said: “From what I hear, they know they’ve got a really unique opportunity to pull away from a bad division, and they want to strike while they can. I honestly thought they were a year away, and might need to trade off a few guys for picks for the future. But here they are in first place, starting at a playoff berth. When that’s there, you’ve got to grab it.”
• Another assistant GM tied them to Colts RB Jonathan Taylor but thought that defensive tackle should be a bigger priority: “I’ve heard a lot of talk about them and Taylor, because [HC John Harbaugh] is worried about [Cam Skattebo’s] ball security. I get it. It would give him his Derrick Henry But I think JT’s going to be too expensive. “They can get a tackle cheap. They need to shore up the middle of their run defense. They lost a lot when Burns and Edmunds went down. If they can get a big guy in the middle of that line to eat up blockers, and it only costs them a Day 3 pick, that could change everything about their defense.”‘
• Jonathan Jones of The Athletic reports that Harbaugh inquired about a potential trade for DT Jeffery Simmons before the Titans dealt him to the Bears.
