Cowboys Nearing Deal to Trade for Dolphins Edge Rusher With More Sacks Than Micah Parsons

Dallas, TX – October 2, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys may soon get the pass-rushing boost they desperately need. Sources around the league indicate the team is nearing a trade with the Miami Dolphins involving veteran edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

After sending Micah Parsons to Green Bay earlier this year, Dallas has been left exposed defensively. Through four games, the Cowboys rank second-worst in points allowed per game and own just five total sacks.

 

Bradley Chubb, a two-time Pro Bowler, has quietly delivered a strong start to 2025. With three sacks already, he has outproduced Parsons this season while showing flashes of the disruptive power that once made him elite.

League insiders believe the framework is nearly in place. The proposed deal would send Chubb to Dallas in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick, with Miami expected to absorb part of his significant contract.

 

Chubb, 29, has battled injuries throughout his career but has remained a proven difference-maker when healthy. He posted 11 sacks in 2024 and has recorded at least 7.5 sacks in four separate campaigns.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, appear ready to consider a move. Sitting at 1-3, the franchise is weighing whether to reset its roster, and Chubb’s age and massive $31 million cap hit complicate long-term planning.

 

For the Cowboys, the gamble comes down to belief. Despite defensive struggles, the offense has kept the team competitive. Adding Chubb could provide much-needed pressure and keep postseason hopes alive in a shaky NFC.

 

If finalized, the deal would mark a bold midseason swing by Jerry Jones. Dallas fans clamoring for defensive reinforcements may finally see the franchise move aggressively to repair a unit left reeling since Parsons’ departure.

Cowboys Icon DeMarcus Ware Returns as Co-Owner to Lead From the Front
The Dallas Cowboys are turning a new page in their storied history. This week, reports confirmed that franchise legend DeMarcus Ware has officially purchased a stake in the team, returning to AT&T Stadium as a co-owner. Few pass rushers in NFL history have embodied excellence like Ware. With 138.5 sacks, 657 tackles, and 35 forced fumbles, the Hall of Famer redefined the position and helped set the standard for the modern Cowboys defense — power, speed, and relentless pursuit.   Ware’s bond with Dallas has always reached beyond football. From youth initiatives to leadership clinics, he built a reputation for showing up for the community, mentoring the next generation with the same focus that made him a first-ballot Hall of Famer.   Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2023 and a member of the Cowboys Ring of Honor, Ware is cemented as one of the franchise’s most beloved figures. Now he returns not only as a hero of the past, but as an architect of the future.   He’s no stranger to the business side of sports and media. Post-retirement, Ware built a portfolio that spans broadcasting, fitness, and tech investments — experience he now brings back to Dallas, where he’ll work alongside Jerry Jones and the front office to shape the Cowboys’ identity for the years ahead.   The move signals as much a cultural reset as a business decision. Fans across X and Facebook erupted with excitement, calling it a “homecoming done right” and a chance for Ware to lead again — this time from the boardroom instead of the line of scrimmage. For Ware, the message is simple: whether sacking quarterbacks or crafting strategy, leadership travels. And for Cowboys Nation, the idea of their greatest pass rusher helping guide the future feels like destiny meeting design.
