Cowboys Make Feelings Clear on Impending Trade After Loss to Cardinals
The Dallas Cowboys are planning to make a trade on Tuesday despite their Monday night loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The Cowboys disappointed their home crowd, falling 27-17 to Arizona. The defense gave up big plays, and the offense failed to capitalize on opportunities, allowing the Cardinals to snap a five-game losing skid with the win.
Earlier on Monday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed that the team had already agreed to a trade but did not disclose any details. “A lot of action going on right now in terms of trading,” Jones said on *The Stephen A. Smith Show* on SiriusXM Radio. “We certainly have made a trade, and we may make a couple more trades before that deadline. We’ve made one. We possibly could make two more, and I’m going to wait and let you read about that when we send the papers in tomorrow.”
However, after the game, Jones appeared to backtrack slightly, stating that no trade was currently in place. Despite the team’s disappointing 3-5-1 record, the 83-year-old owner expressed that he was still “leaning” towards making a deal happen.
“There is no trade right now, but there is one I can do. Without question, there is one I can do. And I’m leaning toward doing it,” Jones said. “It wasn’t dependent on this outcome. What I said, absolutely we do. We’ll see how tomorrow goes. Today was all about tomorrow. You shouldn’t do anything. You should wait and see what we do tomorrow.”
Jones also commented on the state of the team, adding, “I like our nuts and bolts. I don’t like what’s happening to our nuts and bolts, though.”
### Aikman: Cowboys Should Cancel Trade
The potential trade would likely address some of the Cowboys’ defensive struggles. However, the unit has been so inconsistent that acquiring a single impact player may not be enough to turn things around.
Cowboys legend Troy Aikman, who was part of the Monday Night Football broadcast, expressed skepticism about any trade. “I think I would cancel that trade,” Aikman said as the Cowboys were getting carved up in the first half. “I don’t think one player, from what I’ve seen tonight, is gonna make a difference for this group.”
Dallas’ defense gave up 340 yards and 27 points to the Cardinals, who were playing with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. The defense came alive late in the game, registering five sacks as the Cowboys attempted a comeback. Before Monday night, the Cowboys had recorded just 15 sacks as a team.
### Cowboys May Consider Coaching Shake-up During Bye Week
Looking ahead, the Cowboys will use their upcoming bye week to evaluate both their roster and coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is reportedly under pressure as the defense continues to struggle.
Owner Jerry Jones did not rule out potential changes but stopped short of confirming any moves. “I’m not commenting on what type of adjustments that may be made. We made adjustments last week. But I’m just saying, you saw making those adjustments, and this week, we made adjustments for this week,” Jones explained. “I’m sure there’ll be some adjustments this coming week, but the nature of them, whether it’s on personnel, whether it’s offense, defense I’m not pinpointing tonight at all.”
As the Cowboys regroup during their bye, fans will be watching closely to see what moves and adjustments the team makes to turn the season around.

Scherzer doesn’t argue with Schneider, leaves World Series Game 3 with lead that bullpen wastes
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Scherzer didn’t argue this time.
John Schneider pointed to Toronto’s bullpen before crossing the foul line on the way to the mound, and the 41-year-old pitcher nodded in agreement as his manager arrived. Scherzer left World Series Game 3 with a 4-2 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers after 4 1/3 innings Monday night, becoming the oldest Series starting pitcher since 45-year-old Jamie Moyer in 2008.
Still, Scherzer appeared disappointed with himself for allowing Kiké Hernández’s leadoff single in the fifth inning. After the Dodgers tied the score against reliever Mason Fluharty, Scherzer was shouting, seemingly at himself, in Toronto’s dugout.
He could get another chance to face the Dodgers, as Scherzer is lined up to start a potential Game 7 on Saturday.
A three-time Cy Young Award winner, “Mad Max” had lived up to his nickname earlier this postseason. He famously told Schneider in profane terms to leave him in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against Seattle on Oct. 16, when the manager visited the mound with two outs and a runner on in the fifth inning.
On Monday, Scherzer struck out Randy Arozarena and recorded two outs in the sixth inning, earning his first postseason win since the 2019 World Series opener for Washington against Houston.
“I’m going to try to avoid any mound visits with Max tomorrow,” Schneider said with a smile on Sunday.
Scherzer was back at Dodger Stadium, where the eight-time All-Star spent the 2021 season with Los Angeles. He disappointed Dodgers fans then when he was scratched from NLCS Game 6 against Atlanta due to arm fatigue, and Los Angeles was eliminated.
Becoming the first pitcher to take the mound for four different teams in the World Series, Scherzer was amped up. He averaged 94.8 mph with 37 four-seam fastballs — his highest since Sept. 19, 2022, when he pitched six perfect innings for the New York Mets to beat Milwaukee for his 200th win.
Hernández, who was in a 1-for-16 slump, singled to start the fifth on a 1-2 fastball at the top of the strike zone. Scherzer retired Andy Pages on a flyout, bringing up Shohei Ohtani, who had doubled leading off the game and hit a solo home run in the third on a full-count fastball.
Schneider signaled to his bullpen before even reaching the foul line, and as he approached the mound, Scherzer nodded in understanding.
Ohtani hit an opposite-field double off Fluharty and scored on Freddie Freeman’s two-out single, tying the score 4-4.
Overall, Scherzer allowed three runs and five hits with three strikeouts and a walk. He also gave up a solo homer to Teoscar Hernández on a hanging slider to start the second inning.

Boeing workers who make military aircraft and weapons reject latest offer, extending months-long strike
The strike by about 3,200 machinists at Boeing plants in Mascoutah, Illinois, and the Missouri cities of St. Louis and St. Charles is smaller in scale than last year’s walkout by 33,000 Boeing workers who assemble commercial jetliners. However, it threatens to complicate the aerospace company’s progress in regaining its financial footing.
“Boeing claimed they listened to their employees; the result of today’s vote proves they have not,” Brian Bryant, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said in a statement.
Boeing responded by expressing disappointment over the vote’s outcome, noting that the result was close. The company stated it was increasingly hearing from workers “who want to cross the picket line” and “understand the value of our offer.”
“The union’s statement is misleading since the vote failed by the slimmest of margins, 51% to 49%,” the company’s statement read. “We are turning our focus to executing the next phase of our contingency plan in support of our customers.”
In contrast, the machinists’ union acknowledged the vote was close but emphasized in a message to members that “very few” workers have crossed the picket line. “Our solidarity remains strong, and the company’s claim otherwise is wrong,” the union said.
Union leaders report that talks have stalled over key issues such as wages and retirement benefits. Boeing has argued that workers’ demands exceed the cost of living adjustments appropriate for the Midwest.
Ahead of Sunday’s vote, the union advised members not to approve the company’s latest offer, citing a lack of “meaningful improvements” to retirement benefits and wage increases for more senior workers.
Negotiations escalated over the summer in the days leading up to the strike. Workers rejected an earlier proposed agreement that included a 20% wage hike over the life of the five-year contract.
Boeing quickly countered with a modified agreement that did not increase pay raises but removed a scheduling provision affecting workers’ ability to earn overtime pay. Workers rejected that offer as well and commenced the strike the following morning. They also voted against revised terms in September.
The company has stated it was prepared for a strike, with a contingency plan in place “to ensure our non-striking workforce can continue supporting our customers.”
