Jerry Jones appreciates his current view at the table with two weeks before the NFL trade deadline and a perspective that the Dallas Cowboys hold a winning hand should they opt to make a move.

Dallas realized a level of financial flexibility under the salary cap when it subtracted All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons in August. The trade to the Green Bay Packers also brought a windfall of draft compensation that Dallas owner and general manager Jones could weaponize before the Nov. 4 deadline in order to boost the Cowboys' defense.

"We are in as good a shape as we've been in years with picks ... with our cap," Jones told 105.3 FM in Dallas on Tuesday. "And if we see a way to improve our team with a player that makes sense (we'll inquire)."
