3 Players the Cowboys Should Target at the 2023 NFL Trade Deadline | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
William Harris While most of the team's injuries are on the defensive side of the ball, the offense has some problems that need to be addressed too. Tight end was a weakness on paper going into the season.
Jake Ferguson has done enough to assuage some of those fears, they aren't getting much from their other options at the position, though. Through five games Peyton Hendershot and Luke Schoonmaker have combined for just two catches.
The ability to play more 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends) could help Dallas find some consistency. According to 33rd Team, the Cowboys are sixth in EPA per play when in that personnel grouping, but they are just 22nd in 12 usage.
Finding a veteran who can pair with Ferguson could be a move that pays big dividends. Zach Ertz would make a lot of sense as a target. As a former Philadelphia Eagle, the Cowboys are familiar with his game and he's currently on the final year of his contract with a bad Cardinals team that isn't going anywhere this season.
