Cowboys Trade Proposal Brings $100 Million Ravens All-Pro to Dallas
Could the Dallas Cowboys secure Roquan Smith in a trade? We look at the implications for their defense before the deadline.
heavy.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- There have been multiple trade rumors tying the Cowboys to Ravens receivers, including discussions around Rashod Bateman before the Pickens deal, with Bateman himself indicating there were conversations that could have happened [cite ]. This suggests genuine, though not finalized, interest from Dallas in Baltimore targets during the 2025 period [cite ].
- In 2026, Bleacher Report-identified trade scenarios floated sending a 2026 first-round pick to Dallas in exchange for George Pickens, illustrating ongoing cross-team trade chatter involving both organizations, though no such deal materialized at that time [cite ]. Other outlets amplified the notion of the Ravens seeking more weaponry and examined various proposal ideas, including high-end targets, as part of offseason discussions [cite ].
- Overall, the pattern is: credible rumors exist about Cowboys-Ravens trade talks centered on top receivers, but there is no confirmed, completed trade between the teams as of the latest reports in these sources [cite ][cite ].
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent summaries from today’s outlets and give you a brief, side-by-side of the strongest, most concrete rumors versus speculative ideas, with direct quotes and dates.
